To calculate the percent increase, we need to find the difference between the new price and the original price, and then divide that by the original price and multiply by 100.
The difference is $200 - $150 = $50.
Then, we can calculate the percent increase as (difference/original price) * 100:
($50/$150) * 100 = 33.33... ≈ 33%
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 33%.
The difference is $200 - $150 = $50.
Then, we can calculate the percent increase as (difference/original price) * 100:
