    average atomic mass of sulfur = 32.066 amu

    Explanation:

    The average atomic mass is calculated as following:

    average atomic mass = fraction of isotope (1) * mass number of the isotope (1) + fraction of isotope (2) * mass number of the isotope (2) + ... + fraction of isotope (n) * mass number of the isotope (n)

    average atomic mass of sulfur = (95/100) * 32 + (0.76/100) * 33 + (3.22/100) * 34 + (0.89/100) * 36 = 32.066 amu

    (amu - atomic mass units)
