    Efficiency = (Wanted) energy out : energy in * 100

    Energy in = 400J

    Wanted Energy out = 240J

    Energy cannot be used up, only transferred, so the remaining energy is most likely to be transferred into unwanted energy (loss of energy) such as heat energy.

    Efficiency = 240 : 400 * 100

    Efficiency = 0.6 * 100

    Efficiency = 60%
