im pretty sure you do the number times the percentage converted to a decimal and then add the sums so (46*0.706)+(48*0.129)+(50*0.165)
32.476+6.192+8.25
=46.918 amu

*i dont trust my calc so pleasee check if the answer is right and also remember to convert a percent to decimal move the decimal back 2 places so like for 12.9% the decimal is gonna be 0.129

hope this helpss ask if you have questions
