The relative abundance of three isotopes...

The relative abundance of three isotopes of carbon `C^(12), C^(13)` and `C^14` are 98.892%, 1.108% and `2 xx 10^(-10)`% respectively. If the relative atomic masses of these isotopes are 12.00, 13.00335 and 14.00317 amu respectively, find the average atomic mass of carbon.
