The air in a car's tire is at a pressure of 240 kPa and a temperature of 290 K. After the car is driven, the temperature of the air has risen to 320 K. What is the new pressure of the air in the tire?

I believe this is correct:

 

 240kPa / 290K  = ? / 320K     multiply both sides by 320K

 

[320K / 290K] * 240kPa  ≈  264.83kPa
