I figure N = 14.01, H = 1.008 + 4,
C=12.01 times 2,
H = 1.008 times 3 and O = 16 times 2. I got the answer 1.95 × 10^23 from 0.3243 × 6.02
10^24. Am I missing a step?

how do you convert that to atoms?

I'm confused how does 0.3243 moles times avogadros number not give me the number of atoms. A classmate told me I'm missing a step but I thought that would be the final answer.

#

your result of 0.3243 is moles of molecules. multiplying avogadros number gives number of molecules

#

avogadros number is the number of entities per mole, so 1 mole of NH4C2H3O2 contains avogadros number molecules

Does my next step have to do with the subscripts?

#

I see what you mean now I have to convert from molecules to atoms
