How to work it out

  1. Difference: 76 − 24 = 52
  2. Divide by the starting value: 52 ÷ 24 = 2.166667
  3. Multiply by 100: 216.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 24 × (1 + 2.166667) = 24 × 3.166667 = 76.

In a spreadsheet: =(76-24)/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 3.1667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 316.6667. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $24 to $76 has gone up by 216.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 216.6667% rise followed by a 216.6667% fall does not bring you back to 24: it gives -88.6667. The second percentage is taken of 76, not of 24, so to undo this change you need 68.4211% instead.
