Physics Intensity Question?

The intensity of electromagnetic waves from the sun is 1.4kW/m^2 just above earths atmosphere. 80% reaches the surface. If you model your back as a 30cm * 50cm rectangle. How many joules of solar energyfall on your back as you tan for 1.00 hour? Any help on the problem would be great.
