Density question (chemistry)?

if you drop an 11.0 g rock in a graduated cylinder and the volume of water rises from 21 ml mark to 23.5 ml mark, what is the density? (4.58g/ml)

I know density is mass/volume, but I don't remember which numbers to plug in.

    Change in volume = 23.5 - 21 = 2.5 so density = 11/2.5 = 4.4 not 4.58

    this is because 11 grams of mass takes 2.5 volume of water
