76.2 torr

Boyle's law $P_1 xx V_1 = P_2 xx V_2$

Pressure and Volume are inversely related. As the Volume increases the Pressure Decreases

$P_1 = 242 t$
$V_1 = 17.0 ml$
$P_2 = P$ (unknown)
$V_2 = 54.0 ml$

$242 xx 17.0 = P xx 54.0$ Divide both sides by 54.0

$(242 xx 17.0)/ 54.0 = P$

76.185185 = P (Since there are only three significant digits in the problem there can be only three significant digits in the answer.)

76.2 torr = P
