How to work it out

  1. Difference: 49 − 16 = 33
  2. Divide by the starting value: 33 ÷ 16 = 2.0625
  3. Multiply by 100: 206.25%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 16 × (1 + 2.0625) = 16 × 3.0625 = 49.

In a spreadsheet: =(49-16)/16*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 3.0625 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 306.25. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $16 to $49 has gone up by 206.25%.

Why the change back is different

A 206.25% rise followed by a 206.25% fall does not bring you back to 16: it gives -52.0625. The second percentage is taken of 49, not of 16, so to undo this change you need 67.3469% instead.
