See diagram.

Let x = distance between COM from the original center of the sphere, after the small sphere is cut off from it.

Let the density of the sphere be = dMass of big sphere (full) = 4/3 * π r³* dMass of the small sphere cut off from it = 4/3 *π (r/2)³ * dMass of the remaining object = 7/6 π r³ * d

Position of the COM of the complete sphere = 0=>- x * 7/6 π r³ d + r/2 * 4/3π (r/2)³ * d = 0=> x = r / 14
