Mass*velocity=momentum
solve for mass.
I noted your use of the symbol p for momentum. This symbol is in use with Huygens latin word 'percussion', which Huygens used to describe the 'force' with which a cannon ball was discharged from a cannon. We call that momentum now, but his use of the word led to the symbol p. Someday, that trivia will be useful to you on some extracredit trivia question.
Good luck.
momentum (p) is 88 kg * m/s, velocity (v) is 2 m/s. find mass (kg)
