Problem- glucose is pumped into some animal cells by a


Problem- Glucose is pumped into some animal cells by a symporter powered by the simultaneous entry of Na+. The entry of Na+ provides a free-energy input of 10.8kJ/mol under typical cellular conditions (extracellular [Na+] =143mM, internal [Na+] =14mM, and membrane potential = -50mV). How large a concentration of glucose can be generated by this free-energy input (what is the ratio of glucose in / ratio of glucose out)

Anyone can tell me how to solve it step by step so that I will be able to understand what is going on?
