    The atomic mass for element Z is 19.9

    Explanation:

    Mass number and relative abundance of the first isotope is 19 and 55% respectively.

    Mass number and relative abundance of the second isotope is 21 and 45% respectively.

    Mass number of element Z = (0.55*19) + (0.45*21) = 10.45 + 9.45 = 19.90
