The high school graduating class changed by approximately 23%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The high school graduating class of 2010 was 260 people

Five years later the high school graduating class was 320 people.

we know that

260 people represent the 100%

so

The difference is (320-260)=60 people

using proportion

Find out what percentage represent 60 people

Let

x ----> the percentage that represent 60 people

therefore

The high school graduating class changed by approximately 23%

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
