If you would like to know how much greater is the area of the broadcast region when the signal is relayed, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of 50 miles is 75 miles

x% * 50 = 75

x/100 * 50 = 75 / * 100/50

x = 75 * 100 / 50

x = 150%

150% - 100% = 50%

The area of the broadcast region when the signal is relayed is 50% greater.
