Calculate the % theoretical yield: Please help?

Hei.

So I'm have trouble calculating the % yield for NH3 of:

 

N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

 

I know that you're supposed to find the limiting reagent, which is N2, and I know for sure that I got that right. The masses given for each molecule is 400 kg (N2), 200kg (2H2), and 220kg (2NH3). 

 

I know that you're supposed to do the (molar mass of NH3)/(220)) x 100, but I'm not getting the right answer. What am I doing wrong? 

 

The correct answer is 45.2%

I tried to show everything as clearly as possible, if you still have some doubts send me a message ;)

Hei! Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately, I'm not qualified to download files yet. Is it alright if you could explain what I'm doing wrong instead? Thanks!
