Mary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper, saying, “Now, you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip, right?” Tom, her brother, nodded. He wasn’t able to go last year because he hadn’t earned enough money during the summer. This year he came up with a plan.
He made a necklace(项链) for his mother that everyone admired. They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her. Why not make more necklaces and sell them?

“How much do you think you can sell such a necklace for?” asked Mary.
“Hmm,” Tom looked thoughtful and said, “There’s a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $7.50. If I charge(要价）$6. 00, people will think that’s a bargain.”
“OK. If you sell each necklace for $6, you’ll make a good profit(利润)on each then,” said Mary.
