You use the relative atomic mass of the atoms.

Carbon has a relative atomic atomic mass of 12. Oxygen has a relative atomic mass of 16, so two of them is 32.

Hence in whichever mass CO₂ you choose, there will be (12 ÷ (12 + 32)) × 100% = 27.3% to 3sf.

CO2 where C = Carbon = 6×2 = 12

O = Oxygen = 8×2×2 =32

the the mass of carbon in carbon dioxide = 12+ 32 = 44
