Gold purity is measured in karats (known as "carats" in countries of the British Commonwealth) and refers to the amount of pure gold present in the jewelry. Twenty-four-karat gold is considered to be pure gold, or 99.9% pure to be exact.
Dividing the karat unit by 24 will provide the percent of pure gold in the jewelry. Thus, if you are wondering how much gold is in a 9-karat piece of jewelry, divide 9 by 24 to get 37.5%. The metal is 37.5% gold and the remaining 62.5% is likely copper, silver, nickel, or other metals.
