Question on normally distributed, statistics?

Suppose that weights of bags of potato chips coming from a factory follow a normal distribution with mean 12.8 ounces and standard deviation .6 ounces. If the manufacturer wants to keep the mean at 12.8 ounces but adjust the standard deviation so that only 1% of the bags weight less than 12 ounces, how small does he/she need to make that standard deviation?
