Step-by-step explanation:

Efficiency can be calculated using the formula:

Efficiency = (useful energy output / total energy input) * 100

In this case, the useful energy output is 720J and the total energy input is 1200J.

Efficiency = (720J / 1200J) * 100

Efficiency = 0.6 * 100

Efficiency = 60%

So, the efficiency of the motor is 60%.
