Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Efficiency of an engine is calculated by dividing the energy output over the energy input and expressing that as a percentage.  

Efficiency = [tex]\frac{energy output}{energy input}[/tex] x 100%

Given,  

Heat input = 1000 J  

Heat wasted = 750 J

Heat used = 1000 J – 750 J = 250 J  

Efficiency = [tex]\frac{250 J }{1000 J}[/tex] x 100% = 25%
