Step-by-step explanation:

This is basically a ratio math problem. We have two different masses and a known percentage of each. Combining them into a weighted-average mass is done by multiplying each mass by the weight percent and adding them up.

0.295 x 203 + 0.705 x 205 = 59.885 + 144.525 = 204.4
