The atomic mass of boron is 10.811 u

Mass of the two stable isotopes are  10.01294 \; u and 11.00931\; u respectively

Let the two isotopes have abundances x% and (100-x)%

\\10.811=\frac{10.01294\times x+11.00931\times(100-x)}{100} \\x=19.89\\ 100-x=80.11

Therefore the abundance of  _{5}^{10}\textrm{B}  is 19.89% and that of  _{5}^{11}\textrm{B} is 80.11%
