Thanks for help. For anyone else, the following works.
sub infix:grew_by_to {...};
(32 grew_by_to 48).say;
sub infix:grew_by_to ($left, $right) {
return ($right/$left - 1) * 100 ~ '%';
};

What am I doing

sub infix:+ ($left,$right) {
return 100 * ($right/$left -1);

$pugs ./p6test.p6

It does its best to DTRT with
