The efficiency of a machine can be calculated by dividing the output work by the input work and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

Efficiency = (Output Work / Input Work) * 100

Output Work = 900J
Input Work = 1,200J

Efficiency = (900 / 1,200) * 100 = 75%

So, the efficiency of the machine is 75%
