Question 1152150: The pressure of a gas varies jointly as the amount of the gas (measured in moles) and the temperature and inversely as the volume of the gas. If the pressure is 1485 kiloPascals (kPa) when the number of moles is 8, the temperature is 330° Kelvin, and the volume is 960 cc, find the pressure when the number of moles is 6, the temperature is 310° K, and the volume is 720 cc.

k is used here as the variation constant.
t for temperature in Kelvin
v volume in c.c.

First, use the given data to find value for k.
