My school one thing with your explanation is that it can never be understood
It never ever makes sense
It confuses the person more 🤮🤮🤮

35.5=35x+37(100-x)/1000
3550=35x+3700-72x
3550-3700=35x-37x
-150=-2x
x=75%
relative abundance of 37=100-75=25%

you people like stress. The ratio of Cl-35 to Cl-37 is 3:1, ie Cl-35 = 3/4×100=75% and Cl-37 =1/4×100=25%
