If you assume the perfect gas law, then each of the 3 gases contributes to the total pressure in proportion to the number of moles of that gas. You simply figure out what percentage of the total moles each gas represents, and take that percentage of the total pressure to get that gas's partial pressure.

Approximately
0.315 for A
0.7416036 for B
0.512432 for C

find the total number of moles
0.220+0.521+0.036=0.770
(0.220/0.770)1.106=0.316 atm of A
(0.521/0.770)1.106=0.748 atm of B
(0.036/0.770)1.106=0.517 atm of C
but work through it on your own becauseit is simple and you need to understand it
