What is the percentage increase in expenditure on education during 2011 to 2015 ?

$50 \%$

$75 \%$

$100 \%$

$150 \%$

✅ Correct Option: 3

To find the percentage increase in education expenditure from 2011 to 2015:

Initial value (2011) = $150$ thousand

Final value (2015) = $300$ thousand

Using the percentage increase formula:

Percentage increase = $\frac{\text{Increase in value}}{\text{Initial value}} \times 100$

Increase in value = $300 - 150 = 150$

Percentage increase = $\frac{150}{150} \times 100$

= $1 \times 100$

= $100\%$

Therefore, the percentage increase in expenditure on education during 2011 to 2015 is $100\%$ .
