The intensity follows an inverse metre relationship so I is equal to 1 by m square hence the percentage change in intensity will be 1.5 square inverse which is 2.55 approximately equal to 3% decrease

Intensity is inversely proportional to the sq. Of the distance therefore approx. It will fetch you an answer of 3%
