How to work it out

  1. Difference: 43 − 15 = 28
  2. Divide by the starting value: 28 ÷ 15 = 1.866667
  3. Multiply by 100: 186.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 15 × (1 + 1.866667) = 15 × 2.866667 = 43.

In a spreadsheet: =(43-15)/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 2.8667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 286.6667. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $15 to $43 has gone up by 186.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 186.6667% rise followed by a 186.6667% fall does not bring you back to 15: it gives -37.2667. The second percentage is taken of 43, not of 15, so to undo this change you need 65.1163% instead.
