16.66666…. % change increase!
if you want to round it to the nearest percent, it is 17% basically
since 3 is your 100%, you can set it up as a fraction being 3/100 and since you are trying to find the percent of 0.50 you can set it up as 0.50/x
now 3/100 = 0.50/x
cross multiply and….
50 = 3x
50/3 = x
16.66666… = x (which is 0.50!)
so there you have it
0.50 is 16.6666…% of 3
so it would be a 16.66666% increase
or 17% if rounded!
hope it helps! would appreciate brainliest!
