How to work it out

  1. Difference: 96 − 58 = 38
  2. Divide by the starting value: 38 ÷ 58 = 0.655172
  3. Multiply by 100: 65.5172%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 58 × (1 + 0.655172) = 58 × 1.655172 = 96.

In a spreadsheet: =(96-58)/58*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 1.6552 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 165.5172.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $58 to $96 has gone up by 65.5172%.

Why the change back is different

A 65.5172% rise followed by a 65.5172% fall does not bring you back to 58: it gives 33.1034. The second percentage is taken of 96, not of 58, so to undo this change you need 39.5833% instead.
