are you sure that is right ,,the answer ???

 
Apache makes it 66%. If you've managed to make one >100% can you PM me the plans ;)

How exactly is the question worded? Does it ask what the efficiency is OR what is lost.

Exactly my thoughts

Power out/Power in = efficiency

Therefore 50/75 = 0.66 recurring (or 66%)

If they are asking for power lost, then it would equate to around 33% (rounding up/down)

 
i worded it the way it is on the paper i was getting 66%.close to throwing calculater out the window.
