Kp problem

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen in the ratio 2:1 were mixed at constant temperature of 1000K and a constant pressure of 9 atmospheres in the presence of a catalyst. At equilibrium, one third of the sulfur dioxide had been converted into sulfur trioxide. Find kp

I’m not sure how to do that. Are there x initial moles of each ?

Now can you see how to get the initial atmospheres?
