Problem on binomial option pricing model

The share price of Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited is currently at $100.

If the Hong Kong interbank offered rate is 8% per annum with continuous compounding, evaluate the price of a six-month American put option with a strike price of $95 using a binomial option pricing model.
