Answer:
{ (x/y )*100 } - 0.15 y
Explanation:
The efficiency of a machine is the percent of output work divided by input work minus work lost from friction and heat.
Assume work output = x
Assume work input percent as =y
Work lost through friction is given as : 15% input work = 0.15 y
Then efficiency of the machine will be :{ (x/y )*100 }- 0.15 y
Use real values for x and y to find the correct efficiency of the machine.
