How to work it out

  1. Difference: 49 − 44 = 5
  2. Divide by the starting value: 5 ÷ 44 = 0.113636
  3. Multiply by 100: 11.3636%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 + 0.113636) = 44 × 1.113636 = 49.

In a spreadsheet: =(49-44)/44*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 1.1136 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 111.3636.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $44 to $49 has gone up by 11.3636%.

Why the change back is different

A 11.3636% rise followed by a 11.3636% fall does not bring you back to 44: it gives 43.4318. The second percentage is taken of 49, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 10.2041% instead.
