How to work it out

  1. Difference: 98 − 13 = 85
  2. Divide by the starting value: 85 ÷ 13 = 6.538462
  3. Multiply by 100: 653.8462%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 13 × (1 + 6.538462) = 13 × 7.538462 = 98.

In a spreadsheet: =(98-13)/13*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 7.5385 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 753.8462. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $13 to $98 has gone up by 653.8462%.

Why the change back is different

A 653.8462% rise followed by a 653.8462% fall does not bring you back to 13: it gives -542.7692. The second percentage is taken of 98, not of 13, so to undo this change you need 86.7347% instead.
