How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 49 = 9
  2. Divide by the starting value: 9 ÷ 49 = 0.183673
  3. Multiply by 100: 18.3673%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 49 × (1 + 0.183673) = 49 × 1.183673 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-49)/49*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 1.1837 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 118.3673.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $49 to $58 has gone up by 18.3673%.

Why the change back is different

A 18.3673% rise followed by a 18.3673% fall does not bring you back to 49: it gives 47.3469. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 49, so to undo this change you need 15.5172% instead.
