I have a very very simple question, it relate to physics also
Assuming we have a device with efficiency 85%, how much should be the input power to achieve 100W power in the output?
Here is my problem:
Some people say you have to multiple 100, 1.15 time because there are 15% losses
So we have
100 x 1.15 = 115 W
But some other people say you have to divide 100 by 0.85
So we have
100 / 0.85 = 117.6 W
Please help what is the true way?
$$\frac{Output}{Input}\times 100= \text{efficiency percentage}$$
