    You forgot to include the known characteristics of the solution.

    I searched them and copy here:

    volume: 1.000 liter

    M = 0.0190 M

    Now, you can start with the definition of mass percent.

    mass percent = (grams of solute / grams of solution) * 100

    grams of solute are obtained from the molar concentration:

    M = (number of moles of solute) / (volume of solution in liters)

    where number of moles = (grams) / (molar mass)

    => M = (grams of solute / molar mass of solute) / (volume of solution in liters)

    => grams of solute = M * (volume of solution in liters) * (molar mass of solute)

    And density = (kg of solution / volume of solution in liters) = >

    kg of solution = density * volume of solution in liters

    grams of solution = density * (volume of solution in liters) * 1000 g/kg

    => mass percent = M * (volume of solution in liters) * (molar mass) / (density * volume of solution in liters * 1000 g / kg) * 100

    => mass percent = M * molar mass * 10 / density

    now replace the values known:

    M = 0.0190 mol / liter

    density = 1,000 kg / liter

    molar mass of Ba (NO3) 2 = 137.327 g/mol + 2*14.007 g/mol + 2*3*15.999 g/mol = 256.335 g/mol

    => mass percent = 0.0190 mol/liter * 256.335 g/mol * 10 kg / g / (1.000 kg/liter)

    => mass percent = 48.7%
