Red gold is a gold-copper alloy used to make jewelry. A piece of jewelry made of red gold weighs 7.05 g and has a volume
of 0.504 cm. Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm' and copper has a density of 8.96 g/cm³. Calculate the percentage by mass of
each metal in the jewelry. Assume the total volume of the jewelry is the sum of the volumes of the two metals it contains.

Pure gold is defined as having 24 carats. When mixed in an alloy, the carats of gold are given as a percentage of this value.
For example, a piece of jewelry made with 50% gold has 12 carats. State the purity of this piece of red gold jewelry
in carats.
