How to work it out

  1. Difference: 35 − 15 = 20
  2. Divide by the starting value: 20 ÷ 15 = 1.333333
  3. Multiply by 100: 133.3333%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 15 × (1 + 1.333333) = 15 × 2.333333 = 35.

In a spreadsheet: =(35-15)/15*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 2.3333 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 233.3333. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $15 to $35 has gone up by 133.3333%.

Why the change back is different

A 133.3333% rise followed by a 133.3333% fall does not bring you back to 15: it gives -11.6667. The second percentage is taken of 35, not of 15, so to undo this change you need 57.1429% instead.
