How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 56 = 37
  2. Divide by the starting value: 37 ÷ 56 = 0.660714
  3. Multiply by 100: 66.0714%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 56 × (1 + 0.660714) = 56 × 1.660714 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-56)/56*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 1.6607 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 166.0714.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $56 to $93 has gone up by 66.0714%.

Why the change back is different

A 66.0714% rise followed by a 66.0714% fall does not bring you back to 56: it gives 31.5536. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 56, so to undo this change you need 39.7849% instead.
