This is like asking "How many cups are in pure water?" The answer depends on how much pure water you have. The gram measures the amount of mass in a thing, and karat (or carat) is a way of measuring the purity of gold. You may be asking: What percentage of an object is gold if it has a rating of 24k? 24k gold is pure gold; it is not alloyed with another metal. Basically, think of the k rating as being a percentage of gold based on 24k = 100%. 12k gold would contain 50% gold by mass, 8k gold would contain 33.3%, etc. See link for an explanation of carat used as a measure of purity.
