How to work it out

  1. Difference: 59 − 24 = 35
  2. Divide by the starting value: 35 ÷ 24 = 1.458333
  3. Multiply by 100: 145.8333%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 24 × (1 + 1.458333) = 24 × 2.458333 = 59.

In a spreadsheet: =(59-24)/24*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 2.4583 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 245.8333. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $24 to $59 has gone up by 145.8333%.

Why the change back is different

A 145.8333% rise followed by a 145.8333% fall does not bring you back to 24: it gives -27.0417. The second percentage is taken of 59, not of 24, so to undo this change you need 59.322% instead.
