The atomic mass of an element is the average relative mass of its atoms as compared with an atom of carbon-12 whose mass is taken as 12. In terms of percentages of different isotopes, the average atomic mass can be determined as follows: A_{average} = ∑(p_{i}X A_{i})/100. Where, p_{i} is the percentage abundance of isotope with atomic number A_{i}.

So, average atomic mass of neon = \frac{(90.51 X 19.99) + (0.27 X 20.99) + (9.22 X 21.99)}{100} = 20.177 amu.
