What size hot spot would lie on the host star's surface to increase/reduce the total flux? #16

Looking at the TESS light curve, we can see that the stellar flux varies by 0.2% and the flux decreases by 0.7% when the planet is in-transit. Using this information, we can calculate the size of a hotspot required to increase the flux by 0.2%.
