The charges of one neckless is$\$88$ and expenses are$\$3745$.

Suppose the number of neckless

Let the number of neckless be $x$.

The number of neckless times $\$88$must be greater than equal to $\$3745$plus $\$1650$:

$$\begin{gathered} 88x\ge 3745+1650 \\ 88\ge 5395 \\ x\ge 61.30 \end{gathered}$$

Round off the number to its nearest integer:

$x\ge 61$

The number of neckless must be about$61$.
