If the bracelet were 100% gold, it would weigh \"Weight+=+Volume+%2A+grams%2Fcc\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using the info given in the problem, the volume is 15cc and gold weighs 19.3g/cc\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus \"Weight+=+15+%2A+19.3\" = \"289.5\" for a pure gold bracelet. This one is only 238. So it is 'less than 18k gold'
\n" ); document.write( "
