The kilopascal is a unit of measure for atmospheric pressure. Suppose the atmospheric air pressure at sea level is about 105 kilopascals. For every 1000-m increase in altitude, the pressure decreases about 11.9%. What is the approximate pressure at an altitude of 3000 m? Round to the nearest whole number.

The pressure at an altitude of 3000 m is about 72 kilopascals.
