How to work it out

  1. Difference: 74 − 24 = 50
  2. Divide by the starting value: 50 ÷ 24 = 2.083333
  3. Multiply by 100: 208.3333%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 24 × (1 + 2.083333) = 24 × 3.083333 = 74.

In a spreadsheet: =(74-24)/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 3.0833 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 308.3333. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $24 to $74 has gone up by 208.3333%.

Why the change back is different

A 208.3333% rise followed by a 208.3333% fall does not bring you back to 24: it gives -80.1667. The second percentage is taken of 74, not of 24, so to undo this change you need 67.5676% instead.
