The metal is lead, Pb.

One unit of the oxide contains one atom of O (16.00 u).

∴ Mass of oxide = 16.00 u O × (100 u MO/7.17 u O) = 223.15 u MO

Mass of M = mass of MO – mass of O = 223.15 u -16.00 u = 207.2 u

The only element with an atomic mass of 207.2 u is lead (Pb) and the formula of the oxide is PbO.
