Chemistry question help

Hey I need help with this question
https://pmt.physicsandmathstutor.com/download/Chemistry/A-level/Past-Papers/Edexcel-IAL/Unit-5/June%202016%20(IAL)%20QP%20-%20Unit%205%20Edexcel%20Chemistry.pdf

Hey this link takes you to a paper, I don’t understand questions 18 about the benzene with mr 78 and phenol with mr of 93 and when asked to workout the mass?
Please provide worked solution step by step
Mass = Mr x moles
Moles = Mass/Mr
Moles = 3.9/78 = 0.05 moles of benzene
The first reaction is 70% yield so you only get 70% of the moles
0.7 x 0.05 = 0.035 moles of the intermediate compound
The second reaction is 60% yield so you get 60% of the moles of the intermediate
0.6 x 0.035 = 0.021 moles of phenylamine
Again, mass = Mr x moles
mass = 93 x 0.021 = 1.953g phenylamine so the answer is A

1) work out the number of moles of benzene
2) you're told the percentage yields, use those to eventually work out the moles of phenylamine
3) work out mass of phenylamine

Thank you. I understand now.
