Given:

V=8.2 LP=1.2 atmT=306KV=8.2 \ L \\ P = 1.2 \ atm \\ T= 306 K

At STP: V=? LP=1.0 atm273 KV=? \ L \\ P=1.0 \ atm \\ 273 \ K

Let us solve using combined gas equation.Then substitute values and solve.

P1V1T1=PSTPVSTPTSTPVSTP=P1V1TSTPT1PSTP=(1.2 atm)(8.2 L)(273 K)(306 K)(1.0 atm)=8.778823529 LVSTP=8.8 L\begin{align} \dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}&=\dfrac{P_{STP}V_{STP}}{T_{STP}} \\ V_{STP}&=\dfrac{P_1V_1T_{STP}}{T_1P_{STP}} \\ &=\dfrac{(1.2 \ atm)(8.2 \ L)(273 \ K)}{(306 \ K)(1.0 \ atm)} \\ &=8.778823529 \ L \\ V_{STP}&=8.8 \ L \end{align}
