I don't wish to go off-topic but I can't let an incorrect statement like that go unchallenged. You described it as a pay rise and so it is relative to your existing pay i.e. a pay rise of 50%.
If you had a 33% pay cut from £150 to £100 then you need a 50% pay rise to restore your pay to its former level.
