Answer:


\boxed {\tt 116}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass number of an isotope, add the number of neutrons and protons.


mass \ number = neutrons + protons

There are 66 neutrons and 50 protons in the this isotope of tin.


mass \ number = 66+50

Add 66 and 50.


mass \ number = 116

The mass number of this tin isotope is 116.
