How to work it out

  1. Difference: 75 − 23 = 52
  2. Divide by the starting value: 52 ÷ 23 = 2.26087
  3. Multiply by 100: 226.087%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 23 × (1 + 2.26087) = 23 × 3.26087 = 75.

In a spreadsheet: =(75-23)/23*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 3.2609 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 326.087. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $23 to $75 has gone up by 226.087%.

Why the change back is different

A 226.087% rise followed by a 226.087% fall does not bring you back to 23: it gives -94.5652. The second percentage is taken of 75, not of 23, so to undo this change you need 69.3333% instead.
