In a forest experiment, in one plot there is a total of 100 kJ of energy in the plants. An insect herbivore consumes 80 kJ of energy from plants and produces 20 kJ of herbivore tissue. In an adjacent ecosystem, the plants still contain 100 kJ of energy but the herbivore is a deer. If the deer consumes the same joules of energy as the insects, what value may be correct for the trophic efficiency of the deer?

I’m struggling to find the values that answer this question can you please help?
![In a forest experiment, in one plot there is a total of 100 k of energy in the plants.
An insect herbivore consumes 80 kJ of energy from plants and produces 20 kJ of
herbivore tissue. In an adjacent ecosystem, the plants still contain 100 kJ of energy
but the herbivore is a deer. If the deer consumes the same joules of energy as the
insects, what value may be correct for the trophic efficiency of the deer?
