The question asks, "If 6 is decreased to 3, the decrease is what percent of the original number?"

To solve this:

1. **Find the decrease**:  
   The difference between 6 and 3 is:  
   \[
   6 - 3 = 3
   \]

2. **Calculate the percentage of the original number (6)**:  
   The percentage decrease is calculated as:
   \[
   \text{Percentage decrease} = \left( \frac{\text{decrease}}{\text{original number}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{3}{6} \right) \times 100 = 50\%
   \]

Thus, the decrease is **50%** of the original number.
