How to work it out

  1. Difference: 96 − 20 = 76
  2. Divide by the starting value: 76 ÷ 20 = 3.8
  3. Multiply by 100: 380%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 20 × (1 + 3.8) = 20 × 4.8 = 96.

In a spreadsheet: =(96-20)/20*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 4.8 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 480. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $20 to $96 has gone up by 380%.

Why the change back is different

A 380% rise followed by a 380% fall does not bring you back to 20: it gives -268.8. The second percentage is taken of 96, not of 20, so to undo this change you need 79.1667% instead.
