Answer:

(NH4)3PO4 is 28.2 % N , 8.1% H, 20.8 % P and 43.0 % O by mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula In chemistry, the mass fraction of a substance within a mixture is the ratio w_{i} of the mass m_{i} of that substance to the total mass {\displaystyle m_{\text{tot}}} of the mixture. Expressed as a formula, the mass fraction is: {\displaystyle w_{i}={\frac {m_{i}}{m_{\text{tot}}}}.}
