According to 10% law given by lindemann 10 % energy is transfered in next consumer out of total energy.

Let be the energy of Deer = n

10% of Deer's energy will transfer in lion,

So, 10% of n  = 100 J

x\frac{10}{100}=100,n=\frac{100\times 100}{10}

n=1000J

10% of grass / plant's energy will transfer in Deer, so, energy of plant =\frac{1000\times 100}{10}

Energy of plant = 10000 J
