Back Titration Help

Hey, basically i'm stuck on the calculation on my back titration.

Here's my data:

10cm3 aspirin solution to 40cm3 0.2moldm-3 NaOH (Refluxed that)

then i used 20cm3 and titrated it with 0.1moldm-3 HCL.

The values i got were: 14.2 on average

How do I work out the total number of grams within the aspirin solution to begin with? The ratio of NaOH - Aspirin is 2:1, ie 2 moles of NaOH hydrolyse 1 moles of aspirin.

I've figured out 0.0014 Moles were used to neutralise the excess NaOH (HCL titration). Also, 0.008 moles were used to hydrolyse the aspirin to begin with....but apart from that? help please.
