Hi, As far as I remember from school and that was a FEW years ago,..It is about 1/3 gold...Hope this helps but dont hold me to this....

Answer
1 carat of gold = 1000/24. So 9 carat is 37.5% gold.

Divide the carat of gold you have by 24 and the result is the percentage.

10k 10/24 41.67%
14k 14/24 58.33%
18k 18/24 75.00%
24k 24/24 99.99%

The remaining percentage of the metals are based on the type of gold you have:

Yellow Gold - Copper, Silver

White Gold - Nickel, Zinc, Copper

Green Gold - Silver, Zinc, Copper

Rose Gold - Copper, Silver
