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
