What is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power?

A coal-fired plant generates 600 MW of electric power. The plant uses 4.8 * 10^6 kg of coal each day. The heat of combustion of coal is 3.3 * 10^7 J/kg. The steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300°C, and the exhaust water is at 37°C.
