\mathrm{Packing\: Efficiency=\frac{z\times volume\: of\: one\: atom}{volume\: of\: unit\: cell}}

Since the number of atoms per unit cell is 4 that means it is a fcc unit cell. In fcc unit cell relation between the radius of atom and edge of the unit cell is given as follows: 

r=\frac{a}{2\sqrt{2}}

Thus,

\mathrm{Packing\: Efficiency=\frac{4\times\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{(2\sqrt{2r})^3}=\frac{\pi }{3\sqrt{2}}=0.74}
