NH3 has a pKb of 4.74. What is the pH of a 3.2 x 10-4 mol L-1 NH3 solution?

I did this question 4 times and got it wrong, I keep getting 13 but the correct answer is 9.83, can someone please explain this to me?

The error percent on this answer is 24%, it has to be less than 5% so you have to use the quadratic equation to get 9.83 you cant assume in this case.
