How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 54 = 40
  2. Divide by the starting value: 40 ÷ 54 = 0.740741
  3. Multiply by 100: 74.0741%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 54 × (1 + 0.740741) = 54 × 1.740741 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-54)/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 1.7407 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 174.0741.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $54 to $94 has gone up by 74.0741%.

Why the change back is different

A 74.0741% rise followed by a 74.0741% fall does not bring you back to 54: it gives 24.3704. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 54, so to undo this change you need 42.5532% instead.
