How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 25 = 68
  2. Divide by the starting value: 68 ÷ 25 = 2.72
  3. Multiply by 100: 272%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 25 × (1 + 2.72) = 25 × 3.72 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-25)/25*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 3.72 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 372. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $25 to $93 has gone up by 272%.

Why the change back is different

A 272% rise followed by a 272% fall does not bring you back to 25: it gives -159.96. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 25, so to undo this change you need 73.1183% instead.
