Answer:

94.87 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is


P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we're finding the new volume


V_2 = (P_1V_1)/(P_2) \\

We have


V_2 = (100 * 740)/(780) = (74000)/(780) \\ = 94.8717...

We have the final answer as

94.87 mL

Hope this helps you
