How to work it out

  1. Difference: 69 − 16 = 53
  2. Divide by the starting value: 53 ÷ 16 = 3.3125
  3. Multiply by 100: 331.25%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 16 × (1 + 3.3125) = 16 × 4.3125 = 69.

In a spreadsheet: =(69-16)/16*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 4.3125 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 431.25. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $16 to $69 has gone up by 331.25%.

Why the change back is different

A 331.25% rise followed by a 331.25% fall does not bring you back to 16: it gives -159.5625. The second percentage is taken of 69, not of 16, so to undo this change you need 76.8116% instead.
