When the temperature stays the same, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas. If a balloon is filled with 234 cubic inches of a gas at a pressure of 14 pounds per square inch, find the new pressure of the gas if the volume is decreased to 39 cubic inches.

The new pressure of the gas would be 78 pounds per square inch.
as expected, Wrong again!!!!!!
V = k/P
when V = 234, P = 14 , so
234 = k/14
k = 3276
V = 3276/P
when V = 39
39 = 3276/P
39P = 3276
P = 84
V = k/P
when V = 234, P = 14 , so
234 = k/14
k = 3276
V = 3276/P
when V = 39
39 = 3276/P
39P = 3276
P = 84
