The unit of weight for precious stones in the carat(1 carat=200mg, exactly). If a particular 1.25 carat diamond costs 7000.00 what is the cost of a collection of identical diamonds which weighs 1.00 ounce? (1 ounce= 28.35 grams)
weight of identical diamond = 1.00 ounce
= 28.35 grams
= 28350 mg
1 carat -------> 200 mg
?? -----> 28350 mg
number of carats = 141.75 carats
1.25 carats cost ------------> 7000
141.75 carats cost -----------> ??
diamonds cost = 141.75 x 7000 / 1.25
diamonds cost = 793800
