Can anyone give me a definition of this?  Let me state it this way.  Let E
be the total number of euros in circulation.  Let G be the number of troy
ounces of gold reserves.  Find P, the percentage of euros E "backed by" the
gold G.

If I had this formula, then for a given E and G I could verify that P was at
least 15%.  Without the formula, I have no way of knowing P.

Maybe the answer is VERY obvious and I'm just being EXTREMELY dense.  That
does happen sometimes.
