Answer:

420J

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula (useful output ÷ total output) × 100 is used. We need to find the the useful output. So:

(useful ÷ 600) × 100 = 70(%)

We rearrange the formula so that 'useful' is the subject of the equation.

useful ÷ 600 = 0.7 {70 ÷ 100}

useful = 0.7 × 600

useful = 420J
