How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 70 = 24
  2. Divide by the starting value: 24 ÷ 70 = 0.342857
  3. Multiply by 100: 34.2857%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 70 × (1 + 0.342857) = 70 × 1.342857 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-70)/70*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 1.3429 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 134.2857.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $70 to $94 has gone up by 34.2857%.

Why the change back is different

A 34.2857% rise followed by a 34.2857% fall does not bring you back to 70: it gives 61.7714. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 70, so to undo this change you need 25.5319% instead.
