How to work it out

  1. Difference: 69 − 7 = 62
  2. Divide by the starting value: 62 ÷ 7 = 8.857143
  3. Multiply by 100: 885.7143%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 7 × (1 + 8.857143) = 7 × 9.857143 = 69.

In a spreadsheet: =(69-7)/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 9.8571 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 985.7143. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $7 to $69 has gone up by 885.7143%.

Why the change back is different

A 885.7143% rise followed by a 885.7143% fall does not bring you back to 7: it gives -542.1429. The second percentage is taken of 69, not of 7, so to undo this change you need 89.8551% instead.
