How to work it out

  1. Difference: 75 − 28 = 47
  2. Divide by the starting value: 47 ÷ 28 = 1.678571
  3. Multiply by 100: 167.8571%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 28 × (1 + 1.678571) = 28 × 2.678571 = 75.

In a spreadsheet: =(75-28)/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 2.6786 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 267.8571. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $28 to $75 has gone up by 167.8571%.

Why the change back is different

A 167.8571% rise followed by a 167.8571% fall does not bring you back to 28: it gives -50.8929. The second percentage is taken of 75, not of 28, so to undo this change you need 62.6667% instead.
