In calculating the efficiency of biomass transfer from one trophic level to another we need to follow this equation.

• efficiency equals biomass transferred to the next level multiply to biomass that was available at the previous level divided by 100

• efficiency equals biomass transferred to the next level less to the biomass that was available at the previous level multiply by 100

• efficiency equals biomass transferred to the next level divided by the biomass that was available at the previous level divided by 100

• efficiency equals biomass transferred to the next level divided by the biomass that was available at the previous level multiply by 100
