How to work it out

  1. Difference: 50 − 11 = 39
  2. Divide by the starting value: 39 ÷ 11 = 3.545455
  3. Multiply by 100: 354.5455%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 11 × (1 + 3.545455) = 11 × 4.545455 = 50.

In a spreadsheet: =(50-11)/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 4.5455 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 454.5455. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $11 to $50 has gone up by 354.5455%.

Why the change back is different

A 354.5455% rise followed by a 354.5455% fall does not bring you back to 11: it gives -127.2727. The second percentage is taken of 50, not of 11, so to undo this change you need 78% instead.
