How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 51 = 42
  2. Divide by the starting value: 42 ÷ 51 = 0.823529
  3. Multiply by 100: 82.3529%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 51 × (1 + 0.823529) = 51 × 1.823529 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-51)/51*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 1.8235 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 182.3529.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $51 to $93 has gone up by 82.3529%.

Why the change back is different

A 82.3529% rise followed by a 82.3529% fall does not bring you back to 51: it gives 16.4118. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 51, so to undo this change you need 45.1613% instead.
