What is the efficiency is the output work is 12000 and the input work is 15000?
Efficiency as a percent is output/input * 100%12000/15000 * 100% = 80% efficiency which makes sense, because it takes more work (input) than it give out (output). So the efficiency should be less than 100%.
Can an amount be decreased by more than 100 percent?
No, an amount cannot be decreased by more than 100 percent. To decrease by more than 100 percent would mean that the amount is actually going into the negative values, which is not possible in most contexts. A decrease of 100 percent means that the amount is reduced to zero.
How does the output work compare to the input work for a machine that has an efficiency equal to 100 percent?
If a machine has 100 percent efficiency, the output work = the input work. That's actually basically what the efficiency of a machine is - output work / input work * 100.
Can 120 percent be a probabilty?
No. No percentage higher than 100 percent is possible. Out of 100 occurrences it is impossible to obtain an answer of more than the totality of the occurrences.
Is 1 one third greater than 145 percent?
no, a percent is always out of 100 if the percent is grater than 100 than it is more than 1 and a fraction is always less than one unless the numerator is grater than the denominator.
