How does one go about calculating a reactant if I only have the amount of a product I want to have, as well as the percent yield?

Example: I want to collect 1.00kg of melamine, this equation has a yield of 65%. What is the Reactant’s weight?

6HNCO—> C3N3(NH2)3 + 3CO2

Can you solve the problem, - using a simple stoichiometry - for a 100% yield?
