or reverse
375 hp @ the fly/1.25 (25%) drivetrain loss=300hp @ the wheels |
The math you are doing here is 300 + (300*.25) = 375
Which is 25% more than 300
And 375/1.25=300
Which is the same as saying 375*(0.8)=300
300 is 20% less than 375. 375 is 25% more than 300.
You are interpreting the results wrong.
