    X=percentage of Cl-35

    (1-x) = percentage of Cl-35

    35 (x) + 37 (1-x) = 35.454

    35x+37-37x=35.454

    -2x=35.454-37

    -2x=-1.546

    x=-1.546 / (-2)

    x=0.773

    0.773=77.3/100=77.3%

    (1-x) = 1-0.773=0.227

    0.227=22.7/100=22.7%

    answer: the percentages are: 77.3% of Cl-35 and 22.7% of Cl-37.
