eucalyptus leaves are the food source for panda bears. eucalyptol is an oil found in these leavges. analysis indicates this oil has a molar mass of 154/gmol and contains 77.87% C,11.76%H, and10.37% O. determine the molar mass of the eucalyptol

Here's what you do.
Multiply the percentage of each element by the 154 g/mol molar mass. This would give you the following for each.
C=119.91
H=18.11
O=15.96
Then, divide each number by it's respective molecular weight. This would give you a formula of:
C10 H18 O
