Calculate total amount of electrical energy produced per day and loss of mass of U-235 each day?

At full capacity, the nuclear plant at Seabrook, New Hampshire, generates 1160 million joules of electrical energy per second. Calculate the total amount of electrical energy produced per day and the loss of mass of U-235 each day.
Hint: Start by calculating the quantity of energy generated not per second but per day. Then use the equation e=mc^2 and solve for the change in mass. Report loss in grams.

I've tried this several times and can't seem to get the right answer. Can someone walk me through this?

Answer: 1.00X10^14 J/day ; 1.11grams.

Thank you very much!

It is fairly straight forward.

How many seconds are in a day?
Multiply that number times 1160 million (1160 x 10⁶).
That is your energy in E=mc², solve for mass.
What is the units of mass in E=mc²? Convert to grams if required.
