How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 27 = 67
  2. Divide by the starting value: 67 ÷ 27 = 2.481481
  3. Multiply by 100: 248.1481%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 27 × (1 + 2.481481) = 27 × 3.481481 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-27)/27*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 3.4815 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 348.1481. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $27 to $94 has gone up by 248.1481%.

Why the change back is different

A 248.1481% rise followed by a 248.1481% fall does not bring you back to 27: it gives -139.2593. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 27, so to undo this change you need 71.2766% instead.
