How to work it out

  1. Difference: 57 − 30 = 27
  2. Divide by the starting value: 27 ÷ 30 = 0.9
  3. Multiply by 100: 90%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 30 × (1 + 0.9) = 30 × 1.9 = 57.

In a spreadsheet: =(57-30)/30*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 1.9 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 190.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $30 to $57 has gone up by 90%.

Why the change back is different

A 90% rise followed by a 90% fall does not bring you back to 30: it gives 5.7. The second percentage is taken of 57, not of 30, so to undo this change you need 47.3684% instead.
