We are asked to find the percentage difference. This can be seen below;

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the formula below;


\text{Percentage difference = }\frac{New\text{ throws -old throws}}{\text{old throws}}*100

Therefore


\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage difference = }(273-150)/(150)*100 \\ =(123)/(150)*100 \\ =82\text{\%} \end{gathered}

Answer: 82%
