How to work it out

  1. Difference: 65 − 54 = 11
  2. Divide by the starting value: 11 ÷ 54 = 0.203704
  3. Multiply by 100: 20.3704%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 54 × (1 + 0.203704) = 54 × 1.203704 = 65.

In a spreadsheet: =(65-54)/54*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 1.2037 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 120.3704.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $54 to $65 has gone up by 20.3704%.

Why the change back is different

A 20.3704% rise followed by a 20.3704% fall does not bring you back to 54: it gives 51.7593. The second percentage is taken of 65, not of 54, so to undo this change you need 16.9231% instead.
