Answer:

79.90amu

Explanation:

To calculate the average atomic mass of an bromine we must multiply the masses of its isotopes with the percent abundance divided by 100. Then you add them together for your answer.

50.69 ÷ 100 = 0.5069

49.31 ÷ 100 = 0.4931

78.9183361amu × 0.5069 = 40.00amu

80.916289amu × 0.4931 = 39.90amu

40.00amu + 39.90amu = 79.90amu
