The Solution:

Given:

Growth from 45% to 48%.

This means,

The change = 48 - 45 = 3%

We are asked to find the percent change in the growth.

By formula, percent change is:


\text{ percent change=}\frac{\text{ change}}{\text{base percent}}*100

In this case,


\begin{gathered} \text{ change=3 \%} \\ \text{ base percent =45 \%} \\ \text{ percent change =?} \end{gathered}

Substituting in the above formula, we get


\text{ percent change =}(3)/(45)*100=(300)/(45)=(20)/(3)=6.6667\approx6.667\text{ \%}

Therefore, the correct answer is 6.667% or 20/3 %
