How to work it out

  1. Difference: 74 − 17 = 57
  2. Divide by the starting value: 57 ÷ 17 = 3.352941
  3. Multiply by 100: 335.2941%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 17 × (1 + 3.352941) = 17 × 4.352941 = 74.

In a spreadsheet: =(74-17)/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 4.3529 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 435.2941. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $17 to $74 has gone up by 335.2941%.

Why the change back is different

A 335.2941% rise followed by a 335.2941% fall does not bring you back to 17: it gives -174.1176. The second percentage is taken of 74, not of 17, so to undo this change you need 77.027% instead.
