Question

A hypothetical element, M, has four stable isotopes with the masses shown below.

109M = 108.9842 amu

107M = 106.9085 amu

105M = 104.9904 amu

103M = 102.9991 amu

If the percentage abundance of 109M is 10.5%,  105M is 6.6% and the average atomic mass of M is 106.6785 amu, then what is the percentage abundance for 103M? Enter your answer as a percentage but without the % symbol. Use one decimal place.
