I saw this floating around on Facebook, and there was a site that claimed the percentage was 0.03%.

A quick way to estimate is that $3 \% \times 60 = \frac{180}{100} \approx 2$ , and so the answer would be $\frac{3}{10} \%$ .

Send me a friend request on facebook :)

Nice question! I feel it might be more worthy to be in Quantitative Financing.

I don't think so. It's not related to Quantitative Finance.
