Naturally occurring copper exists in two isotopic forms. 63 Cu and 65Cu. The atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu. What is the approximate natural abundance of 63 Cu?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let x = the percentage abundance of 63 Cu Then 1 - x = the percent abundance of 65 Cu (because 1 = 100%) 63x + 65(1-x) = 63.55
