Science question help!!!!?

legend has it that Archimedes added to his fame by using the concepts of volume and density to figure out whether a goldsmith had cheated Hiero II, the king of Syracuse. The goldsmith had given a piece of gold of a known weight to make the crown. Hiero suspected the goldsmith had kept some of the gold for himself and replaced it with an equal weight of another metal. explain the steps you could follow to determine whether or not the crown was pure gold.
