(1) old system
1. One dollar is about 3.72g.
For traditional Chinese medicine, following the old system, one kilogram is equal to 16, which can be counted as 595g. The correct formula for converting a dollar into grams should be 595 ÷16 ÷10 = 3.72g.
2. One dollar is about 3. 125g.
A kilo is equal to 16 Liang, and one Liang is equal to ten money. "Money" is converted into "grams", and the commonly used conversion method is 500g( 1 kg) ÷ 16 (old system of 16 taels is one catty) ÷ 10 (old system of 10 taels is one tael) = 3.125g.
(2) market system
If one kilogram is equal to 10 Liang, and one Liang is equal to ten yuan, 1 Jin = 500 grams = 10 Liang = 100 Liang, one yuan is equal to 5g.
