How to work it out

  1. Difference: 45 − 7 = 38
  2. Divide by the starting value: 38 ÷ 7 = 5.428571
  3. Multiply by 100: 542.8571%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 7 × (1 + 5.428571) = 7 × 6.428571 = 45.

In a spreadsheet: =(45-7)/7*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 6.4286 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 642.8571. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $7 to $45 has gone up by 542.8571%.

Why the change back is different

A 542.8571% rise followed by a 542.8571% fall does not bring you back to 7: it gives -199.2857. The second percentage is taken of 45, not of 7, so to undo this change you need 84.4444% instead.
