Amanda is a manager at a local jewelry store. When a customer purchases a diamond engagement ring, Amanda also suggests purchasing a pearl necklace as a gift for the fiancé’s mother. As a courtesy, Amanda discounts the necklace by 35% off the original selling price. From the cost, the engagement ring has a markup of 100%, and the pearl necklace has a markup of 65%.

What is the store's cost for the ring that has a selling price of $4,500?
What is the store's cost for the necklace that has a selling price of $2,500?
If a customer buys the ring and the necklace together, what would be the total purchase price?
How much did the customer save by purchasing the ring and the necklace together instead of buying them separately?

What do you think the answers are? We are here to help, but you must attempt to solve the problem first.

Selling price is 4,500 and then / of 35% is 4995.65

Selling price is 4,500 and the 35% is 12857.14
