Hi can someone check the answer for me? i got 5488kg/m^2
but the answer says 8488kg/m^2

1. Air pressure at an altitude of a metres is given in kilograms per square metre by the formula p = p0 e^ka, where k = -0.00012. If the pressure at the earth's surface is 10000kg/m^2, what is the pressure at an altitude of 5000m.

Thanks in advance

I also got 5488 kg/m². The answer must be a typo.
