The k stands for karat, a standard of purity in measuring gold in units of 1/24th. 10 karat gold is 10/24th pure or roughly 42 percent pure.
10 percent of 1500 is 150.
10 percent of 285 is 28.5
10 percent of 105.00 is 10.5
14 karat gold is 58.5% gold, or .585, as in 585 parts out of a thousand. Just like sterling silver is marked 925, that means it is 92.5% silver
If yellow gold contains 10 percent of another metal, it means that 90 percent of the alloy is made up of gold. This is commonly known as 10 karat gold, with the purity of the gold being 41.7%.

The difference between the different types of gold is in the purity of the gold. The karat weight of gold is measured by a gold's purity, with 24 karat gold being pure gold. Therefore, 22 karat gold would have a purity of 22/24 or 91.7 percent, 18 karat gold would have a purity of 18/24 or 75 percent, 14 karat gold would have a purity of 14/24 or 50 percent and 10 karat gold would have a purity of 10/24 or 41.6 percent. As the purity of gold decreases, the alloy in the jewelry increases. Copper and silver are the most common alloys used when making gold jewelry and white gold is usually made with a nickel alloy. The higher karat weight a gold piece of jewelry has, the more valuable that piece of jewelry will be.
Gold alloys with other metals have the lowest percent gold content by weight. For example, 10 karat gold contains only 41.7% gold, while 9 karat gold contains even less at around 37.5%. These alloys are popular because they are more durable and affordable than pure gold.
