How to work it out

  1. Difference: 31 − 11 = 20
  2. Divide by the starting value: 20 ÷ 11 = 1.818182
  3. Multiply by 100: 181.8182%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 11 × (1 + 1.818182) = 11 × 2.818182 = 31.

In a spreadsheet: =(31-11)/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 2.8182 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 281.8182. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $11 to $31 has gone up by 181.8182%.

Why the change back is different

A 181.8182% rise followed by a 181.8182% fall does not bring you back to 11: it gives -25.3636. The second percentage is taken of 31, not of 11, so to undo this change you need 64.5161% instead.
