You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.

How can I differentiate between Ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and acids given only the formula? I need to be able to fin
VikaD [51]
You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.

For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.
