How to work it out

  1. Difference: 43 − 28 = 15
  2. Divide by the starting value: 15 ÷ 28 = 0.535714
  3. Multiply by 100: 53.5714%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 28 × (1 + 0.535714) = 28 × 1.535714 = 43.

In a spreadsheet: =(43-28)/28*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 1.5357 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 153.5714.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $28 to $43 has gone up by 53.5714%.

Why the change back is different

A 53.5714% rise followed by a 53.5714% fall does not bring you back to 28: it gives 19.9643. The second percentage is taken of 43, not of 28, so to undo this change you need 34.8837% instead.
