A professional cyclist rides a bicycle that is 92 percent efficient. For every 100 joules of energy he exerts as input work on the pedals, how many joules of output work are used to move the bicycle?

Efficiency = Work Output / Work Input

92% = Work Output / 100

0.92 = Work Output / 100

Work Output = 0.92 * 100

Work Output = 92 joules.
