As you may know, the 10% rule is applied here to calculate the energy levels on each tropic level. This rule states that the organism(s) use up 90% of the energy and pass on only 10% to the next tropic level.

The order we are going to calculate the energies on each level is this:

Producer(s)
Primary Consumer(s)
Secondary Consumer(s)
Tertiary Consumer(s)

Since the producers have 6500kcal of energy, only 10% of that is passed onto the second tropic level to the primary consumer(s.)

To do this simply divide by 10.

6500kcal/10 = 650kcal for the primary consumer(s.)

650kcal/10 = 65kcal for the secondary consumer(s.)

65kcal/10 = 6.5kcal for the tertiary consumer(s.)

Most likely, that is the answer.
