    2.1 atm

    Explanation:

    Before we get the total pressure, we have to ensure all the gases have the same pressure unit.

    Nitrogen gas = 0.75 atm

    Helium = 490mmHg

    To convert mmHg to atm;

    760 mmHg = 1 atm

    490 = x

    x = 460 / 760 = 0.645 atm

    Neon = 520 torr

    Converting torr to atm;

    760 torr = 1 atm

    520 torr = x

    x = 520 / 760 = 0.684 atm

    The total pressure is then given as;

    0.75 + 0.684 + 0.645 = 2.1 atm
