    I suppose that the question ask the following:

    What is the mass of a sample, composed of C₃H₅N₃O₉ molecule, that contains 100 g carbon?

    First we calculate the molecular mass of our molecule C₃H₅N₃O₉.

    molecular mass = 12 * 3 + 1 * 5 + 14 * 3 + 16 * 9 = 227 g/mol

    Now we devise the following reasoning:

    if 227 g of our molecule contains 27 g of carbon

    then X g of our molecule contains 100 g carbon

    X = (100 * 227) / 27 = 840.7 g
