Chemistry AS question help!!!!!!!!!!!!

(d) Some data obtained from the mass spectrum of a sample of carbon are given below.
Ion 12C+ and 13C+
Absolute mass of one ion/g: (1.993 × 10^23 ) and (2.158 × 10^–23)
Relative abundance/%: 98.9 and 1.1
Use these data to calculate a value for the mass of one neutron, the relative atomic mass of 13 C and the relative atomic mass of carbon in the sample. You may neglect the mass of an electron.
Mass of one neutron. ..................................................................................................

So, what is your problem?

Don't you know the number of nucleons in each particle?
Don't you know Avogadro's number?

It's fine, I now know how to do it now
