Okay:

% weight of acid = weight of acid/ total weight of solution *100

Need to now the weight of Vinegar.
From moles = mass/MW
mass = moles * MW
= 0.0034*60
=0.204g

Now we need the weight of the solution
Molarity = moles/vol
Vol= moles/molarity
= 0.0034/0.68
=0.0050 litres
= 5ml

Need to convert to grams
Density= mass/vol
mass = density*vol
=1.01*5
=5.05g

Putting these figures back into the first equation
% w/w vinegar = 0.204/5.05*100
=4.04%
