    79.90amu

    Explanation:

    To calculate the average atomic mass of an bromine we must multiply the masses of its isotopes with the percent abundance divided by 100. Then you add them together for your answer.

    50.69 : 100 = 0.5069

    49.31 : 100 = 0.4931

    78.9183361amu * 0.5069 = 40.00amu

    80.916289amu * 0.4931 = 39.90amu

    40.00amu + 39.90amu = 79.90amu
