You can put this solution on YOUR website! bonus to 50 employees is tripled.
percent of new bonus to increase?
-----
let x = the bonus
then 3x = the new bonus because 3x = 3 * x.
-----
3x - x is the increase which equals 2x.
-----
percent of the increase to the new bonus is the increase divided by the new bonus which is 2x / 3x which equals 2/3 * 100% = 66 and 2/3 %.
