CO2 and Kr Mixture: Calculating Original CO2 and Recoverable Kr Amounts

[babbagee]

A misture of CO₂ and Kr weighs 35.0 g and exerts a pressure of .708 atm in its container. Since Kr is expensive, you wish to recover it from the mixture. Afterthe CO₂ is completely removed by absorption with NaOH(s), the pressure in the container is .250 atm. How many grams of CO₂ were originally present? How many grams of Kr can you recover?

I have no idea how to do this?
Thanks

It would be of no help if we will give you logical reason at first site, which you yourself think first pls reply with whatever you have thought while attempting the problem

Remember that the partial pressure ratio is the molar ratio. From the molar ratio calculate the mass ratio. From the mass ratio find the individual masses of the original compounds.

It shouldn't be too difficult.
