How to work it out

  1. Difference: 48 − 37 = 11
  2. Divide by the starting value: 11 ÷ 37 = 0.297297
  3. Multiply by 100: 29.7297%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 + 0.297297) = 37 × 1.297297 = 48.

In a spreadsheet: =(48-37)/37*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 1.2973 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 129.7297.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $37 to $48 has gone up by 29.7297%.

Why the change back is different

A 29.7297% rise followed by a 29.7297% fall does not bring you back to 37: it gives 33.7297. The second percentage is taken of 48, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 22.9167% instead.
