How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 85 = 9
  2. Divide by the starting value: 9 ÷ 85 = 0.105882
  3. Multiply by 100: 10.5882%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 85 × (1 + 0.105882) = 85 × 1.105882 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-85)/85*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 1.1059 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 110.5882.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $85 to $94 has gone up by 10.5882%.

Why the change back is different

A 10.5882% rise followed by a 10.5882% fall does not bring you back to 85: it gives 84.0471. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 85, so to undo this change you need 9.5745% instead.
