PLS HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIST! Suppose there are 500 units of energy available at the base of a pyramid of energy. How many units of that energy will be the first level consumers store? How many units will the second level consumer store?

50 units of energy are available to the first-level consumers and 5 units of energy are available to the second level consumer.
PRODUCERS 500 PRIMARY CONSUMERS 50
SECONDARY CONSUMERS 5 TERTIARY CONSUMERS 0.5
Every unit of energy available at the producer level decreases on every level raised. The unit of energy goes down by 10% in every level. Thus, when the energy from producers, 500 units, goes up to the first-level consumer or primary level, it energy becomes 50 then second level consumer or secondary level, it energy becomes 5.
