How to work it out

  1. Difference: 60 − 24 = 36
  2. Divide by the starting value: 36 ÷ 24 = 1.5
  3. Multiply by 100: 150%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 24 × (1 + 1.5) = 24 × 2.5 = 60.

In a spreadsheet: =(60-24)/24*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 2.5 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 250. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $24 to $60 has gone up by 150%.

Why the change back is different

A 150% rise followed by a 150% fall does not bring you back to 24: it gives -30. The second percentage is taken of 60, not of 24, so to undo this change you need 60% instead.
