How to work it out

  1. Difference: 88 − 37 = 51
  2. Divide by the starting value: 51 ÷ 37 = 1.378378
  3. Multiply by 100: 137.8378%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 + 1.378378) = 37 × 2.378378 = 88.

In a spreadsheet: =(88-37)/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 2.3784 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 237.8378. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $37 to $88 has gone up by 137.8378%.

Why the change back is different

A 137.8378% rise followed by a 137.8378% fall does not bring you back to 37: it gives -33.2973. The second percentage is taken of 88, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 57.9545% instead.
