Answer

$Percent=6.9\%$

Work Step by Step

$P_{1}=200kPa+90kPa=290kPa$ $P_{2}=220kPa+90kPa=310kPa$ As $V_{1}=V_{2}$ $m_{1}=m_{2}$ $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{RT_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{RT_{2}}$ Simplifying and solving for $T_{2}$: $\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}=\frac{310kPa}{290kPa}=1.069$ The percent increase in the absolute temperature of the air in the tire is: $Percent=0.069*100=6.9\%$
