Help please Mid terms going crazy- Business math?

I just don't get it. What is the easiest way to find the increase (rate%). If an antique watch originally cost 600.00 (Base?) and is now valued at 800.00. I would _800-600=200 or what? Please help divi

600 dollars is the original price. It has increased in value by 200 dollars. divide 200 (price increase by 600 original price and you will find that it has increased in value by 33.333333
