Physics ideal gas equation

The ideal gas equation is pV = nRT
Show that the pressure p exerted by a fixed mass of gas is given by the equation p = density x RT\M

where density is the density of the gas and M is the mass of one mole of gas

Can someone help me with this question,
I’ve got that density = mass\volume and that moles = mass\molar mass so mass = moles x molar mass

And that this means that p = n x M \ V

But idk what I do from here ??
p = nRT/V
= ((m/M)RT)/V
= mRT/VM
= m/V*RT/M = density*RT/M
