Scientists in Huntsville just discovered a new element in Charger Village that they have called Pizzaium (Pz). There are two isotopes for this element. The first isotope has a mass of 546.7 amu and an abundance of 24.86%. The remainder of the element is accounted for by isotope 2 with a mass of 550.  Given this information about the two isotopes, calculate the atomic mass for this element to four significant figures.  If the last digit is a zero, Canvas will not take it, so leave it off.
