Write down the weight of each gold category. Next, check the price of gold per ounce. Write the price down and follow this math to get the price per gram for each group. 

 

HOW TO CALCULATE THE PRICE PER GRAM 

10k weight x .0127 x Gold Price Per Ounce = price per gram 

14k Weight x .0172 x Gold Price Per Ounce = price per gram 

18k Weight x .0224 x Gold Price Per Ounce = price per gram
