A count went up from 450 to 600 What was the approximate percent increase?

Find the increase by subtracting the starting count from the new count: 600 − 450 = 150. Divide that increase by the starting count and multiply by 100: (150 ÷ 450) × 100 ≈ 33%. So the percent increase was approximately 33 percent, choice B.
