How to work it out

  1. Difference: 73 − 54 = 19
  2. Divide by the starting value: 19 ÷ 54 = 0.351852
  3. Multiply by 100: 35.1852%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 54 × (1 + 0.351852) = 54 × 1.351852 = 73.

In a spreadsheet: =(73-54)/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 1.3519 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 135.1852.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $54 to $73 has gone up by 35.1852%.

Why the change back is different

A 35.1852% rise followed by a 35.1852% fall does not bring you back to 54: it gives 47.3148. The second percentage is taken of 73, not of 54, so to undo this change you need 26.0274% instead.
