How to work it out

  1. Difference: 16 − 11 = 5
  2. Divide by the starting value: 5 ÷ 11 = 0.454545
  3. Multiply by 100: 45.4545%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 11 × (1 + 0.454545) = 11 × 1.454545 = 16.

In a spreadsheet: =(16-11)/11*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 1.4545 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 145.4545.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $11 to $16 has gone up by 45.4545%.

Why the change back is different

A 45.4545% rise followed by a 45.4545% fall does not bring you back to 11: it gives 8.7273. The second percentage is taken of 16, not of 11, so to undo this change you need 31.25% instead.
