How to work it out

  1. Difference: 51 − 35 = 16
  2. Divide by the starting value: 16 ÷ 35 = 0.457143
  3. Multiply by 100: 45.7143%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 35 × (1 + 0.457143) = 35 × 1.457143 = 51.

In a spreadsheet: =(51-35)/35*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 1.4571 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 145.7143.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $35 to $51 has gone up by 45.7143%.

Why the change back is different

A 45.7143% rise followed by a 45.7143% fall does not bring you back to 35: it gives 27.6857. The second percentage is taken of 51, not of 35, so to undo this change you need 31.3725% instead.
