How fast is the softball moving after collision?

A ball of mass 200 grams (a softball, perhaps) is moving at 3 m/s before it collides head-on with a baseball of mass 150 grams.  After the collision, the baseball is moving forward at a speed of 2.5 m/s.  How fast is the softball moving after collision? (Hint: You may use grams as your unit of mass here as long as you use it on both sides of the equation.) __________ m/s
