Question dealing with fossils and the fossil record?

A new rock cooling in a magma chamber contains a parent isotope with a half-life of 10 million years. If we begin with 10,000 atoms of a parent isotope, how many atoms of the parent isotope will be present after the third-half-life? How many atoms of daughter product? How much time will have pes since the magma cooled?
