efficiency = output power/input power you are given input power and efficiency, use these to calculate the output power then find input - output = wasted energy make sure to re-write the efficiency as an appropriate decimal/fraction first

zarkam21:

15-133.5

zarkam21:

OKay so i did efficiency * input power ,, 8.9*15=133.5

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid efficiency = output power/input power you are given input power and efficiency, use these to calculate the output power then find input - output = wasted energy **** make sure to re-write the efficiency as an appropriate decimal/fraction first **** \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

zarkam21:

that means that 133.5 is the output power

Vocaloid:

*** make sure to re-write the efficiency as an appropriate decimal/fraction first ***

zarkam21:

Um I'm confused on that part :/:

Vocaloid:

8.9% is not equal to 8.9, it is equal to...?

zarkam21:

OH OKAY

zarkam21:

9

Vocaloid:

% means "per 100" 8.9% means "8.9 per 100" or 8.9/100

zarkam21:

oh okay

Vocaloid:

now repeat the calculations with this new information

zarkam21:

it would be 1.335

zarkam21:

so 50-1.335

Vocaloid:

should be 15 not 50

zarkam21:

ohhshoot,,,

zarkam21:

so D

Vocaloid:

good
