The correct answer is

60

The ratio of gold to copper in the ornament is given as 3:2. This means that for every 3 parts of gold, there are 2 parts of copper. To find the percentage of gold, we need to determine the total parts and then find the proportion of gold.

Total parts = parts of gold + parts of copper = 3 + 2 = 5 parts

Percentage of gold = (parts of gold / total parts) * 100%

Percentage of gold = (3/5) * 100% = 0.6 * 100% = 60%

Therefore, the percentage of gold in the ornament is 60%.
