Answer 1

The Harmon's jewelry store received 475 undamaged jewelry pieces after subtracting the 25 damaged pieces from the total shipment of 500. Therefore, the correct option is 1) 475

Step-by-step explanation:

The Harmon's jewelry store received a shipment of 500 jewelry pieces, out of which 25 pieces were damaged. To find out the number of undamaged jewelry pieces, you need to subtract the damaged pieces from the total shipment that was received:

Total jewelry pieces received = 500

Damaged jewelry pieces = 25

Undamaged jewelry pieces = Total jewelry pieces received - Damaged jewelry pieces

Undamaged jewelry pieces = 500 - 25 = 475

So, the store received 475 undamaged jewelry pieces. Therefore, the correct option in the final answer is (1) 475.
