How to work it out

  1. Difference: 35 − 32 = 3
  2. Divide by the starting value: 3 ÷ 32 = 0.09375
  3. Multiply by 100: 9.375%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 32 × (1 + 0.09375) = 32 × 1.09375 = 35.

In a spreadsheet: =(35-32)/32*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 1.0938 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 109.375.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $32 to $35 has gone up by 9.375%.

Why the change back is different

A 9.375% rise followed by a 9.375% fall does not bring you back to 32: it gives 31.7188. The second percentage is taken of 35, not of 32, so to undo this change you need 8.5714% instead.
