    What's the relationship between total and partial pressure? The total pressure is the sum of the parcial pressures!

    So for us, it would be:

    378 = 212+101+x

    where x is the parcial pressure of nitrogen.

    Now we count:

    378 = 212+101+x

    378=313+x

    378-313=x

    65=x

    So the parcial pressure exerted by nitrogen is 65!
