can anyone solve this??

The relation known as the barometric formula is useful for determining the approximate change in pressure due to altitude. The formula, derived from the ideal gas law is: P= P0e^(-gMh/RT), where P is the pressure at height h, P0 is the pressure at sea level, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s) M is the average molar mass of air (29.0g/mol) and R is the gas constant. If 4.0 g of air are put into a balloon at sea level, then that balloon is taken to an altitude of 3.00 x 10^3 m, what is the change in volume? Assume a constant temperature of 20C

If the temperature is constant, the the gas law states that P*V is constant. Find Pa/P0 (pressure at altitude/sea level) from the barometric formula Pa/P0 = e^(-gmh/RT) with h = 3*10^m. Then Va = V0*P0/Pa, where V0 = balloon volume at sea level, and Va = balloon volume at 3*10^3m
