I think I got it.
Total Flux of Cube = Q (charge) / ε = (10x10^-9) / (8.85x10^-12)
1129.94 / 6 = 188.32 N m^2 / C.
This is the answer I was given. Thanks for the help!
Homework Statement
A 10 nC point charge is at the center of a 2 m x 2 m x 2 m cube. What is the electric flux through the top surface of the cube?Homework Equations
Electric Flux = E x A x cosθ
Electric Flux = ∫E x dA = Q(inside)/ε
E (point charge) = kq/r^2 where k = 1/(4pi ε)

I drew the wrong kind of diagram (I misinterpreted the question), which is why I ended up getting confused. I managed to figure it out after I read your post. Thanks for the help!
Sorry for having my first post be a question, I guess. I'm just confused as to how to do this since I've never really been one for word problems. I can't really type in... tex(?) either. Oh well, here we go:
