There's a lot of ways to come to an answer for this, but I'll go through what I would say is by far the easiest.

Firstly, 1 metric tonne = 1000kg. Gotta know that.


Secondly, let's just be smart about this for a minute. The whole thing is made of CO2. Nothing else. So the % weight of C in the whole thing is the SAME as the % weight of a carbon atom in a CO2 molecule.


So.
C = 12 weight
O = 16 weight.
CO2 = 44weight.


(100 / 44) x 12 = 27.27% (If you're not good with percentages, now is definitely the time to learn them. Chemistry uses them none-stop.)


So 27.27% of CO2 is carbon, by weight. Meaning 30% of our tonne of CO2 is also carbon, by mass.


(1000kg/100) x 27.27 = 272.7kg. That's your answer.
