Answer:

300%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percent change we need to use this formula:


change = (Amount of change)/(Original) * 100

To find the amount of change we need to minus 50 from 200:

200 - 50 = 150

Now that we have the amount of change we can plug it in to the equation with the original amount (50):


change = (150)/(50) = 3 * 100 = 300

Therefore, the percent of change is 300%.

I hope this helps!!
