A balloon is filled with 2.3 cm3 helium gas at 112.1 atm pressure. What will be the new pressure (atm) if the volume is changed to 44.7 cm3?

P1V1=P2V2
(112.1)(.0023)=(P2)(.0447)

the answer i got was 54.85
so would the answer be 54.85 atm?

I believe you punched in the numbers wrong. I get something like 5.8 atm.
