I'm in need of help on this question, i'm having a hard time on approaching it and I keep getting the wrong answer ,please show your work. Any help is appreciated . Thanks a bunch.

Caproic acid has the odor of goats. The compound contains only C, H, and O and was experimentally found to have a molar mass of 110±10 g/mol . When a 1.000 g sample of caproic acid is burned in excess oxygen, 2.275 g CO2 and 0.929 g  H2O are collected. Determine the empirical formula and molecular formula of caproic acid.
