A few years ago, when researching some high schools, a large private northside school had information about their ‘stationary requirements’. No, my child didn’t go there!
Wasn’t about parking, was it?

You mean its not 125g?
I haven’t don’t maths since year 10 but I didn’t think it could be 125g, because there’s no way 10g is 12% of 125.
10 grams is 12.5% of 80 grams.
I guess its isnt then

^^^ they even circled what was wrong!
and the answer is A….gold star please! (and none of that 12.5% gold sample either!)

They aren’t alone. Check the innovations in punctuation by our silicon overlords …
Ok. I’ve spent an hour trying to figure out what exactly was wrong with that question. Took a while to realise it wasn’t the maths.
They haven’t defined “impurities”. Since the subject of the sentence appears to be gold-bearing sediment, is gold the impurity? Or is there something else in the sediment? And what per cent does that other thing make up?
