Isotopes and Atomic Mass (2 of 3)

Using the weighted average (in the form of the atomic mass) and individual isotope masses to calculate the percent abundances of two isotopes.

This part covers the calculation setup for a 3-isotope element (Magnesium), given one of their abundances and the atomic mass of the element. Part 3 covers the algebra involved in solving the equation.
