The average atomic mass of bromine, containing two isotopes, Br3579 with 49.7% and Br3581 with 50.3%,  is 80u.
The average atomic mass of an element is calculated by using the formula
u1×%+u2×%
Therefore, the atomic mass of bromine is
79×49.7100+81×50.3100
79×0.497+81×0.503
39.26+40.74
80u
As a result, the atomic mass of bromine is 80u.
