Answer:

The amount of gold used in a 200 g 14 gold bracelet is 116 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a 14 karat jewell is stated to have aproximally 58 % of it's weigh in gold we need to take the total weigh of the jewel in question and find that percentage of it's weigh. In order to find that percentage we'll first convert that number into a decimal, we do that by dividing it by 100, so we have 58% = 58/100 = 0.58 we can multiply this value by the weigh of the jewel to find the amount of gold used. So we have:

gold used = total weigh*0.58 = 200*0.58 = 116 g
