Calculating pressure

This is the exact question.
A hydraulic press consists of two cylinders of cross-sectional areas 0.2m^2 and 5.0m^2. The piston in the smaller area is pushed down with a force of 100N through a distance of 0.2m. Calculate:
i) the pressure transmitted by the fluid
ii) the pressure exerted by the larger piston
iii) the distance moved by the larger piston
