0.422 oz t Primary Metric
13.125 g Fine Au Secondary Metric

📐 Mathematical Formula & Step-by-Step Substitution

\[ W_{fine} = W_{gross} \cdot \left(\frac{21}{24}\right) = 15 \cdot 0.8750 = 13.125 \text{ g} = 0.422 \text{ oz t} \]
Fine_Weight = 15g * (21/24) = 13.125g = 0.422 oz t
  1. Determine fineness ratio of 21K gold: 21 / 24 = 0.8750 (or 875.0‰ millesimal fineness).
  2. Multiply gross weight by fineness: 15 g × 0.8750 = 13.125 grams of fine elemental gold (Au).
  3. Convert grams to troy ounces (1 oz t = 31.1034768 g): 13.125 / 31.1034768 = 0.422 troy ounces.
  4. Convert grams to tolas (1 tola = 11.6638 g): 13.125 / 11.6638 = 1.1253 tolas.
