How to work it out

  1. Difference: 74 − 19 = 55
  2. Divide by the starting value: 55 ÷ 19 = 2.894737
  3. Multiply by 100: 289.4737%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 19 × (1 + 2.894737) = 19 × 3.894737 = 74.

In a spreadsheet: =(74-19)/19*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 3.8947 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 389.4737. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $19 to $74 has gone up by 289.4737%.

Why the change back is different

A 289.4737% rise followed by a 289.4737% fall does not bring you back to 19: it gives -140.2105. The second percentage is taken of 74, not of 19, so to undo this change you need 74.3243% instead.
