21
Percentage of x20 = 90%

The remaining percentage = 100 - 90 = 10%

Let 

Percentage of x21 = y%

Percentage of x22 = (10-y)%


Average atomic mass = [20x90 + 21y + 22(10-y)]/100 = 20.11

1800 + 21y + 220 - 22y = 2011

21y - 22y = 2011 - 1800 - 220

-y = -9

y = 9

The percentage of y21 = 9%

Answer:

Explanation:

Percentage of x20 = 90%

The remaining percentage = 100 - 90 = 10%

Let

Percentage of x21 = y%

Percentage of x22 = (10-y)%

Average atomic mass = [20x90 + 21y + 22(10-y)]/100 = 20.11

1800 + 21y + 220 - 22y = 2011

21y - 22y = 2011 - 1800 - 220

-y = -9

y = 9

The percentage of y21 = 9%
