How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 82 = 18
  2. Divide by the starting value: 18 ÷ 82 = 0.219512
  3. Multiply by 100: 21.9512%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 82 × (1 + 0.219512) = 82 × 1.219512 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-82)/82*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 1.2195 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 121.9512.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $82 to $100 has gone up by 21.9512%.

Why the change back is different

A 21.9512% rise followed by a 21.9512% fall does not bring you back to 82: it gives 78.0488. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 82, so to undo this change you need 18% instead.
