A portion of solid gold in jewelry is often determined not only in percentages, but also in carats. Thus, 58,5% of gold corresponds to 14 carats, 75% to 18 carats. How many carats does the solid gold contain?
Hmm, I thought that I answered this like a month ago... well! The answer is:
Pure gold is 24 carats and so 24 carats is theoretically 100% gold. In Chinese, it is also known as “Chuk Kam”, meaning ‘pure gold’ and is defined as 99.0% gold minimum. Thus, there is a 1.0% negative tolerance allowed in this case.
