Well, first you need the molecular formula of "vitamin A".

Explanation:

I don't know it, but this site relates that vitamin A is a family of organic compounds that includes "retinol", i.e. C_20H_30O, i.e. 6 degrees of unsaturation.

And C_20H_30O gives a molecular mass of...........

(20xx12.011+30xx1.00794+16.00)*g*mol^-1=286.46*g*mol^-1.
