How to work it out

  1. Difference: 61 − 24 = 37
  2. Divide by the starting value: 37 ÷ 24 = 1.541667
  3. Multiply by 100: 154.1667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 24 × (1 + 1.541667) = 24 × 2.541667 = 61.

In a spreadsheet: =(61-24)/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 2.5417 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 254.1667. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $24 to $61 has gone up by 154.1667%.

Why the change back is different

A 154.1667% rise followed by a 154.1667% fall does not bring you back to 24: it gives -33.0417. The second percentage is taken of 61, not of 24, so to undo this change you need 60.6557% instead.
