Using a resistor color code chart below, you will find that the resistance is calculated this way:
Resistance = (1st Digit x 10 + 2nd Digit) x Multiplier
Hold the resistor with the gold or silver band to the right and read the resistor from the left to the right.
So, in this case, the resistor is: RED RED YELLOW GOLD
Using the formula and resistor color chart found in the link below, the resistance would be:
R = 1st Digit x 10 + 2nd Digit) x Multiplier
R = (RED x 10 + RED) x YELLOW
R = (2 x 10 + 2) x 10,000
R = 22 x 10,000
R = 220,000 ohm (220 K ohms)
Since the final band is gold, the tolerance is 5%
