Answer:

[tex]97.085\ \text{kPa}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]P_{g}[/tex] = Gauge pressure = 2.2 atm = [tex]2.2\times 101325=222915\ \text{Pa}[/tex]

[tex]P_{abs}[/tex] = Absolute pressure = [tex]3.2\ \text{bar}=3.2\times 10^5\ \text{Pa}[/tex]

[tex]P_{atm}[/tex] = Local atmospheric pressure

Absolute pressure is given by

[tex]P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_g\\\Rightarrow P_{atm}=P_{abs}-P_g\\\Rightarrow P_{atm}=3.2\times 10^5-222915\\\Rightarrow P_{atm}=97085\ \text{Pa}=97.085\ \text{kPa}[/tex]

The local atmospheric pressure is [tex]97.085\ \text{kPa}[/tex].
