How to work it out

  1. Difference: 68 − 24 = 44
  2. Divide by the starting value: 44 ÷ 24 = 1.833333
  3. Multiply by 100: 183.3333%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 24 × (1 + 1.833333) = 24 × 2.833333 = 68.

In a spreadsheet: =(68-24)/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 2.8333 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 283.3333. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $24 to $68 has gone up by 183.3333%.

Why the change back is different

A 183.3333% rise followed by a 183.3333% fall does not bring you back to 24: it gives -56.6667. The second percentage is taken of 68, not of 24, so to undo this change you need 64.7059% instead.
