It's basic DC electronics, Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's law stuff. See chapters 1-7. http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/index.html
A simplistic approach is to replace the diode with a battery of value equal to a typical diode forward voltage drop of (say) 0.7 Volt. Remember the diode can only conduct in one direction, so as long as the diode can be forward biased in this circuit configuration, then the equivalent circuit can be analyzed to give the values you require. As KJ6EAD suggests this is then simple DC circuit analysis.
In reality a diode is a non-linear device so the exact solution to the problem is more complex, but this is probably not the intent of the question.
