For every 1 mole of the oxygen atom, 0.85 moles of iron atoms are present. If r is the amount of Fe(III) present, then the electrical neutrality requires that

x\times3+(0.85-x)\times2=1\times2
This gives  x = 0.3 mol


Percent of Fe(III) =  \frac{0.3}{0.85}\times100%

                          = 35.3%
