$%C by mass$ $"%C by mass"$ $=$ $=$ $\frac{Mass of carbon}{Mass of carbon + oxygen} \times 100 %$ $"Mass of carbon"/"Mass of carbon + oxygen"xx100%$

Explanation:

$So %C by mass$ $"So %C by mass"$ $=$ $=$ $\frac{12.011 \cdot g \cdot m o l^{- 1}}{(12.011 + 15.999) \cdot g \cdot m o l^{- 1}} \times 100 %$ $(12.011*g*mol^-1)/((12.011+15.999)*g*mol^-1)xx100%$

So $C \equiv O$ $C-=O$ , percentage carbon by mass is a bit under $50 %$ $50%$ .
