How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 17 = 41
  2. Divide by the starting value: 41 ÷ 17 = 2.411765
  3. Multiply by 100: 241.1765%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 17 × (1 + 2.411765) = 17 × 3.411765 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-17)/17*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 3.4118 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 341.1765. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $17 to $58 has gone up by 241.1765%.

Why the change back is different

A 241.1765% rise followed by a 241.1765% fall does not bring you back to 17: it gives -81.8824. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 17, so to undo this change you need 70.6897% instead.
