    By buying the necklace, she lost $300.

    This means she has - 300 dollars.

    Then, she gained $600 for selling the necklace. Add 600.

    -300 + 600 = 300

    She now has $300 again.

    Next, she buys it for $700. Subtract 700.

    300 - 700 = - 400

    She has negative $400.

    Finally, she sells it for $900. Add 900.

    -400 + 900 = 500

    She has $500 at the end.

    Answer:

    She gained $500 from the transactions.
