So,

The percent increase is basically the same as percent decrease except that you subtract the June count from the July count. If you let x be the June count and y be the July count, you can write it mathematically as follows:

(y -x)/(x) = percent\ increase

Substitute.

(800 - 600)/(600) = percent\ increase

(200)/(600) \ or\ (1)/(3) = percent\ increase

The percent increase in people from June to July is 33.3333333%, which is not one of the options you put there.
