How to work it out

  1. Difference: 44 − 15 = 29
  2. Divide by the starting value: 29 ÷ 15 = 1.933333
  3. Multiply by 100: 193.3333%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 15 × (1 + 1.933333) = 15 × 2.933333 = 44.

In a spreadsheet: =(44-15)/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 2.9333 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 293.3333. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $15 to $44 has gone up by 193.3333%.

Why the change back is different

A 193.3333% rise followed by a 193.3333% fall does not bring you back to 15: it gives -41.0667. The second percentage is taken of 44, not of 15, so to undo this change you need 65.9091% instead.
