If its 1.4% by mass, then that means there are 0.014*200.0=2.8mg0.014200.0=2.8mg of the 214 isotope.

2.8 mg=0.0028 g2.8mg=0.0028g

0.0028/214=1.31*10^(-5) mol0.0028214=1.31105mol
2.82.8 mg of lead-214 is therefore 1.31*10^(-5)1.31105 mol

1.31*10^(-5)*6.02*10^(23)=7.9*10^181.311056.021023=7.91018 atoms
1.31*10^(-5)1.31105 mol of a substance therefore contains 7.9*10^187.91018 atoms.
