In USA, the resources to produce 1 tv = 6.67 pillows
In China, the resources to produce 1 tv = 11.11 pillows
USA has a comparative advantage in producing tv and China must have a comparative advantage in producing pillows.
By the law of comparative advantages, USA will export tv and China will export pillows.
As long as the term of trade is between 6.67 pillows and 11.11 pillows for 1 tv, both countries will gain from trade. There both countries will gain from 10 pillows for 1 tv.
The gains from trade depend on how much is traded. Without that information, you cannot tell the total gains from trade.
You can tell that by exporting 1 tv, USA gains 3.33 pillows because she gets 10 pillows intead of only 6.67 by producing it herself.
By importing 1 tv, China gains 1.11 pillows becuase she needs only export 10 pillows instead of giving up 11.11 pillows if she produces the tv herself.
