If the whole ring weighs 0.4 oz, then g/0.4 = 18/24. Solve this for g to find the ounces of pure gold in the ring, and then multiply the result by $300 to get the value.

0.4 oz = $120
75% of $120 = $90 (I might be wrong)
ok using Geezah’s equation,
g/0.4 = 18/24
g = (7.2/9.6) * 300
g = 0.75 * 300
g = 225
