carat 1-carat gold equals 1/24 percent gold; for example, if your jewelry is 22 carats, divide 22 by 24 and multiply by 100. (22/24) x100 = 91.66, indicating that the gold in your jewelry is 91.66 percent pure.

Calculating the prize of 1-carat gold:

For example, if the price of 24-carat gold is Rs 51,000, the price of 22-carat gold will be (45000 / 24) x 22 = Rs 46,750 if purchased on the market. In the same way, the price of 18-carat gold will be set. While the jewelers deceive you by providing you the same gold with the offer, (45000/24) x18=38,250
