Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.

We dissolve 93 grams of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) in 20 grams of water. What is the percent by mass of sodium sulfate in this solu
dlinn [17]
It should be for the total solution of 93 plus 20 grams which is 113 grams so 93 divided by 113 grams comes to 82.3% sodium sulfate and this can be checked by multiplying 113 grams by 0.823 which results in 93 grams of sodium sulphate.
