    Answer: 40 degrees Celsius

    Explanation:

    Equation to use: P1/T1 = P2/T2

    First: add 273 K to 20 C to get 293

    Then plug the numbers into the equation: 4.50/293 = 4.78/x

    Then you want to cross multiply: 4.50x = 1400.54

    Then solve for x: x = 313 K

    Then convert back to celsius: 313 - 273 = 40 C
