Question

What is the percentage change of 26 to 60?

Answer 1

The percent change is 130.8% rounded to the nearest 10th.

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage change you use the formula:

`p = (N - O)/O*100` where `p` is the percentage change, `N` is the new value and `O` is the old value. In this problem we are given the Old value of 26 and New value of 60. Substituting and solving gives:

`p = (60 - 26)/26*100`

`p = 34/26*100`

`p = 3400/26`

`p = 130.8%` rounded to the nearest 10th
