Given that the mean relative atomic mass of chlorine contain two isotopes of mass numbe 35 and 37. What is the percentage of composition of the isotope of mass number 37

isotope of mass number 37=x% isotope of mass number 36=(100−x)% the mean relative atomic mass of Cl=35.5 35.5=(x/(100))×37 + ((100−x)/(100))×35 3550=37x+3500−35x 50=2x x=25%
