How to work it out

  1. Difference: 73 − 22 = 51
  2. Divide by the starting value: 51 ÷ 22 = 2.318182
  3. Multiply by 100: 231.8182%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 22 × (1 + 2.318182) = 22 × 3.318182 = 73.

In a spreadsheet: =(73-22)/22*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 3.3182 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 331.8182. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $22 to $73 has gone up by 231.8182%.

Why the change back is different

A 231.8182% rise followed by a 231.8182% fall does not bring you back to 22: it gives -96.2273. The second percentage is taken of 73, not of 22, so to undo this change you need 69.863% instead.
