word problem

I have a problem I can't get.. It is, Rhode Island's area is 1,231 square miles. Indiana's area is about 2,958.6% of Rhode Island's area. Indiana's area is about 0.98% of the area of the United States. Find the area of the United States.

What have you thought about, in this exercise, thus far?

Do you know how to calculate the percentage of a number, using a given percent?

(In this exercise, you need to do this twice.)

Otherwise, do you have a specific question? We like to know where you're stuck.

Please read the post titled "Read Before Posting" for guidelines on what to post. Thank you.
