80 %

Step-by-step explanation:

A college has a 30% completion rate, meaning that 30% of all students who start at the college complete their studies.  

If the president of the college sets a goal of increasing this number by 50%.

Therefore, the new completion rate goal will be (30 + 50) = 80%. (Answer)
