    The answer is A-63 because the atomic mass is closest to 63 than 65.

    X=percentage of A-63

    (1-x) = percentage of A-65

    We can suggest the following equation:

    63x+65 (1-x) = 63.6

    63x+65-65x=63.6

    -2x=-1.4

    x=-1.4 / (-2)

    x=0.7

    0.7=70/100=70%

    (1-x) = 1-0.7=0.3

    0.3=30/100=30%

    Answer: we have 70% of A-63 and 30% of A-65.
