How to work it out

  1. Difference: 24 − 1 = 23
  2. Divide by the starting value: 23 ÷ 1 = 23
  3. Multiply by 100: 2,300%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 1 × (1 + 23) = 1 × 24 = 24.

In a spreadsheet: =(24-1)/1*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 24 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 2,400. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $1 to $24 has gone up by 2,300%.

Why the change back is different

A 2,300% rise followed by a 2,300% fall does not bring you back to 1: it gives -528. The second percentage is taken of 24, not of 1, so to undo this change you need 95.8333% instead.
