Actually .. you are FAR more likely to have an equal number of protons and neutrons than you are protons to electrons. This is all mathematical average anyways - considering that there are three common carbon isotopes in nature.

The above method has widely been accepted as the most accurate. Using percent composition will not account for biological variances in trace elements whereas the AMU method will - based on using mass vs. %
