How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 26 = 67
  2. Divide by the starting value: 67 ÷ 26 = 2.576923
  3. Multiply by 100: 257.6923%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 26 × (1 + 2.576923) = 26 × 3.576923 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-26)/26*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 3.5769 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 357.6923. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $26 to $93 has gone up by 257.6923%.

Why the change back is different

A 257.6923% rise followed by a 257.6923% fall does not bring you back to 26: it gives -146.6538. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 26, so to undo this change you need 72.043% instead.
