How to work it out

  1. Difference: 54 − 23 = 31
  2. Divide by the starting value: 31 ÷ 23 = 1.347826
  3. Multiply by 100: 134.7826%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 23 × (1 + 1.347826) = 23 × 2.347826 = 54.

In a spreadsheet: =(54-23)/23*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 2.3478 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 234.7826. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $23 to $54 has gone up by 134.7826%.

Why the change back is different

A 134.7826% rise followed by a 134.7826% fall does not bring you back to 23: it gives -18.7826. The second percentage is taken of 54, not of 23, so to undo this change you need 57.4074% instead.
