How to work it out

  1. Difference: 27 − 14 = 13
  2. Divide by the starting value: 13 ÷ 14 = 0.928571
  3. Multiply by 100: 92.8571%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 14 × (1 + 0.928571) = 14 × 1.928571 = 27.

In a spreadsheet: =(27-14)/14*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 1.9286 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 192.8571.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $14 to $27 has gone up by 92.8571%.

Why the change back is different

A 92.8571% rise followed by a 92.8571% fall does not bring you back to 14: it gives 1.9286. The second percentage is taken of 27, not of 14, so to undo this change you need 48.1481% instead.
