IMPORTANT: It seems like a small difference but you should really use a data attribute to hold the original number to count up to. Altering the original number can have un-intended consequences. For instance, I'm having this animation run everytime an element enters the screen. But if the element enters, exits, and then enters the screen a second time before the first animation finishes, it will count up to the wrong number.

HTML:

200
70
32

JQuery:

$('.count').each(function () {
    $(this).prop('Counter', 0).animate({
            Counter: $(this).data('value')
        }, {
        duration: 1000,
        easing: 'swing',
        step: function (now) {                      
            $(this).text(this.Counter.toFixed(2));
        }
    });
});
