The percentage of matter in the ore that is neither gold nor diamond is 99.9388%.
In the question, we are given that a sample of ore is found to be 0.0022% gold and 0.059% diamond.
We are asked for the percentage of matter in the ore that is neither gold nor diamond.
We know that in any quantity, the total is shown as 100%.
If we assume the percentage of matter in the ore that is neither gold nor diamond to be x%, then using the above theory, we can say that;
x% + 0.0022% + 0.059% = 100%.
This can also be shown as:
x + 0.0022 + 0.059 = 100, which can be simplified as:
x + 0.0612 = 100, which can be solved by subtracting 0.0612 from both sides to get:
x = 100 - 0.0612 = 99.9388.
Thus, the percentage of matter in the ore that is neither gold nor diamond is 99.9388%.
