How to work it out

  1. Difference: 45 − 9 = 36
  2. Divide by the starting value: 36 ÷ 9 = 4
  3. Multiply by 100: 400%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 9 × (1 + 4) = 9 × 5 = 45.

In a spreadsheet: =(45-9)/9*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 5 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 500. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $9 to $45 has gone up by 400%.

Why the change back is different

A 400% rise followed by a 400% fall does not bring you back to 9: it gives -135. The second percentage is taken of 45, not of 9, so to undo this change you need 80% instead.
