Answer:

C4H8O2

Explanation:

The molar mass of the compound we're looking for is 88.

54.5% of 88 is 4, this is how many carbons will be in the compound.

9.1% of 88 is 8, this is your hydrogens.

and 36.4% of 88 is roughly 3, however if you subtract the previous amounts to round down, you get 2; the oxygen amount.

Combine them all and you get C4H8O2
