Just over a half because 75K is half of 150K and if you make the 150K smaller in
the denominator and the 75K bigger in the numerator, then the fraction gets
bigger. That's why I say "over" a half. 76/147 is about 75/150.

76800/147600 = 64/123 ≈ 52%
I am at an age where I have forgotten more than I remember, but I still pretend to know it all.
