Question: Using Example 1.1 but with the current atmospheric pressure, determine the 'true boiling' point at the observed atmospheric pressure The atmospheric pressure given is 101.9

"Using Example 1.1 but with the current atmospheric pressure, determine the 'true boiling' point at the observed atmospheric pressure" The atmospheric pressure given is 101.9 kpa.
And the boiling point observed was 98.3 approx.
How would I go about this? Since they're asking for the units to be mmHg
 "Using Example 1.1 but with the current atmospheric pressure, determine the

PROBLEM: Determine the boiling point of water at 659.3mmHg. SOLUTION: Temperature corrections to the boiling point of water are calculated using the following formula: b.p. correction =(760mmHg - atmospheric pressure )(0.037C/mm) The correction at 659.3mmHg is therefore b.p. correction =(760mmHg659.3mmHg)(0.037C/mm)=3.7C The true corrected boiling point is thus 100.0C3.7C=96.3C
