You first find the molecule formulae for both:

Explanation:

Sucrose #C_12H_22O_11#

#C_12: 12xx12.01=144.12#
#H_22: 22xx1.01=22.22#
#O_11: 11xx16.00=176.00#
These added #=342.34#

Palmitic acid #C_16H_32O_2#

#C_16: 16xx12.01=192.16#
#H_32: 32xx1.01=32.32#
#O_2: 2xx16.00=32.00#
These added #=256.48#

Note: because of the rounding, we can't trust the last digit, so I would round to #342.3# and #256.5# respectively.
