How to work it out

  1. Difference: 99 − 71 = 28
  2. Divide by the starting value: 28 ÷ 71 = 0.394366
  3. Multiply by 100: 39.4366%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 71 × (1 + 0.394366) = 71 × 1.394366 = 99.

In a spreadsheet: =(99-71)/71*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 1.3944 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 139.4366.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $71 to $99 has gone up by 39.4366%.

Why the change back is different

A 39.4366% rise followed by a 39.4366% fall does not bring you back to 71: it gives 59.9577. The second percentage is taken of 99, not of 71, so to undo this change you need 28.2828% instead.
