Hi, taking a scneice class and really do not know here to start"

The question is:

A healthy person has a blood pressure if approximately 120/80 or the systolic over diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart beats whle the diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart is at rest. The units for these are mm of Hg above atmospheric pressure. Calculate what pressure above atmospheric the body pumps blood at.

I got one atmoshperic is 760 mm Hg, but i really do not know where to start from there

Please help.
