As a first approximation - if you dissolve some amount of substance into 500 mL and you take 1 mL of the solution, it is effectively as if you took just 1/500 of the initial mass of the substance (so 81,53g/500) - then just divide by the final volume to find concentration.
In reality dissolving 81,53g of KNO3 in 500 mL of water will produce more than 500 mL of the solution (finding out exact volume requires using density tables, in this particular case it will be around 530 mL), so you are not taking 1/500 but a bit less.
That being said the way we work here is: show the numbers you have gotten so far and we will start from there.
