$% C ≅ 27 %$ $%C~=27%$

Explanation:

$% C = \frac{Molar mass of carbon}{Molar mass of carbon dioxide} \times 100 %$ $%C="Molar mass of carbon"/"Molar mass of carbon dioxide"xx100%$

$= \frac{12.011 \cdot g \cdot m o l^{- 1}}{(12.011 + 2 \times 15.999) \cdot g \cdot m o l^{- 1}} \times 100 % = ? ?$ $=(12.011*g*mol^-1)/((12.011+2xx15.999)*g*mol^-1)xx100%=??$
