Geology Pressure Homework?

This is a three part question:

-If rock volume was at depth 10 km inside the earth, what was the lithostatic pressure this rock experienced? Assume density of the rocks above that rock volume is 3000 km/m^3. (I got this answer to be 294000).

-If this rock is now exposed at the ground surface, what is pressure it experiences?

-What is pressure change this rock volume experiences?
