    Answer is: the % abundance of Zr-92 is 17.15%.

    Ar (Zr) = ω (Zr-90) · Ar (Zr-90) + ω (Zr-91) ·Ar (Zr-91) + ω (Zr-92) ·Ar (Zr-92) + ω (Zr-94) ·Ar (Zr-94) + ω (Zr-96) ·Ar (Zr-96).

    91.224 = 89.905 · 0.5145 + 90.906 · 0.1122 + 91.905 · ω (Zr-92) + 93.906 · 0.1738 + 95.908 · 0.0280.

    91.905 · ω (Zr-92) = 91.224 - (46.256 + 10.199 + 16.320 + 2.685).

    ω (Zr-92) = 15.764 : 91.905.

    ω (Zr-92) = 0.1715 · 100% = 17.15%.
