I would like help with this question please. Thank you in advance!

10) Iron has three stable isotopes: 55Fe, 56FE, and 57Fe. The masses and natural
abundance of each isotope are listed below.
Isotope
Isotopic Mass (amu)
Natural Abundance (%)
55Fe
54.99
1.79
56FE
55.99
60.30
57Fe
56.99
a. What is the natural abundance of 57Fe?
b. What is the atomic mass of iron?
You might get a different answer than what is listed on the periodic table.
c. If a sample of iron contains 0.582 kg, how many atoms are present?
Use the atomic mass you calculated in part (b).
