In all three of the problems you were given *percentage compositions* by 
*mass*.  If you assume a 100 gram sample then the percentages become 
masses in grams.

This concept was seen in Burdge problem 13.16, 13.18, 13.22, and 
somewhat in 13.34.    It was also seen in the first and third additional 
problem -- so my thinking was that making such a connection on the quiz 
would not be too much of a stretch.
