Whatever you have, it isn't K2O. The analysis of fertilisers is
usually given in an antiquated way, in which potassium is stated as
the equivalent amount of "K2O". This makes a bit of sense if the material
is K2SO4, which can be regarded as a compound of "K2O" and SO3, but
none at all for (say) KCl, which you may well have. That would have
about 63% of "K2O", but no oxygen at all!
