Unable how to proceed with a partial pressure problem (For Practice), if anyone could shed light on how to proceed! Thank you so much, I greatily appreciate the help

A solution of t-butanol and water is made by mixing equal mass of the two (50.0% of each
by mass) at 26°C.
Determine the partial pressure of cach component at this temperature in the
vapor phase.
Determine the mole fraction of water in the vapor phase.
Molar mass of t-butanol is 74.12 g/mol. Vapor pressure of t-butanol at 26°C is 37.5 torr.
Vapor pressure of water at 26°C is 25.2 torr.
