Let X be the number made the first day.
X + X-4 + X-8 + X-12 + X-16 = 80
5X - 40 = 80
5X = 120
X = 24 is the number made the first day. The numbers made on following days are 20, 16, 12, 8, 4 and 0. Add them up for part 2.
If she starts with N castles
After day 2 N-4
After day 3 N-8
After day 4 N-12
After day 5 N-16

Total is N+(N-4)+(N-8)+(N-12)+(N-16) = 80

solve for N

I got N=24
but check this.
24
