Answer:

978mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

The total pressure of a gas mixture is defined as the sum of the pressure of each gas in the mixture.

If the mixture of gases you have 200mmHg for O₂, 350mmHg for N₂ and 428mmHg for He, total pressure of the mixture is:

200mmHg + 350mmHg + 428mmHg = 978mmHg
