You need to know the molar mass for Ca which is: 40.078 g/mol and avrogadros # or whatever which is: 6.022 x 10^23

So:

80.0g Ca x (1 mol Ca / 40.078 g Ca) = 1.996 mol Ca (this eliminated grams)

1.996 mol Ca x (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / 1 mol Ca) = 1.202 x 10^24 atoms of calcium

Just remember the fraction 6.022 x 10^23 atoms / 1 mol ! It's the same thing so you can flip it!
