How to work it out

  1. Difference: 62 − 9 = 53
  2. Divide by the starting value: 53 ÷ 9 = 5.888889
  3. Multiply by 100: 588.8889%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 9 × (1 + 5.888889) = 9 × 6.888889 = 62.

In a spreadsheet: =(62-9)/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 6.8889 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 688.8889. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $9 to $62 has gone up by 588.8889%.

Why the change back is different

A 588.8889% rise followed by a 588.8889% fall does not bring you back to 9: it gives -303.1111. The second percentage is taken of 62, not of 9, so to undo this change you need 85.4839% instead.
