How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 43 = 50
  2. Divide by the starting value: 50 ÷ 43 = 1.162791
  3. Multiply by 100: 116.2791%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 + 1.162791) = 43 × 2.162791 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-43)/43*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 2.1628 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 216.2791. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $43 to $93 has gone up by 116.2791%.

Why the change back is different

A 116.2791% rise followed by a 116.2791% fall does not bring you back to 43: it gives -15.1395. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 53.7634% instead.
