The average atomic mass of a sample of an element is 35.5u . what are the percentage of isotopes Ag17 35  in the sample.

Let the percentage of 17X35 = x

   Percentage of 17X37 = 100 – x

  Average atomic weight = 35.5u.

   Therefore  35.5 = 

   On solving the equation, x = 75%

  Therefore 17X35 = 75 %

  And 17X37 = 100 – 75 = 25%
