Help with homework please - chemistry

A pycnometer is a glass flask with a tight fitting glass stopper that
is used to obtain the volume of a liquid with high accuracy. A
pycnometer has a mass of 25.151 grams when empty, and a
mass of 42.481 grams when completely filled with water. The
pycnometer has a mass of 49.129 when completely filled with an
unknown liquid. What is the density in g/cm³ of the unknown
liquid? Assume the density of water is 1.000 g/cm³.
