document.write( "Question 943103: Gold is alloyed with different metals to make it hard enough to be used in jewelry. The amount of gold present in a gold alloy is measured in 24ths called karats. 24-karat gold is 2424 or 100% gold. Similarly, 18-karat gold is 1824 or 75% gold. How many ounces of 18-karat gold should be added to an amount of 12-karat gold to make 4 ounces of 14-karat gold?\r

The exercise is no different than any of these:\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The concentration can simply be in unit, karats or \"numerator%2F24\". You could also convert the karats into percents if you want that way. 12 karats would be 50% gold.
