How to work it out

  1. Difference: 88 − 33 = 55
  2. Divide by the starting value: 55 ÷ 33 = 1.666667
  3. Multiply by 100: 166.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 33 × (1 + 1.666667) = 33 × 2.666667 = 88.

In a spreadsheet: =(88-33)/33*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 2.6667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 266.6667. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $33 to $88 has gone up by 166.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 166.6667% rise followed by a 166.6667% fall does not bring you back to 33: it gives -58.6667. The second percentage is taken of 88, not of 33, so to undo this change you need 62.5% instead.
