How to work it out

  1. Difference: 96 − 24 = 72
  2. Divide by the starting value: 72 ÷ 24 = 3
  3. Multiply by 100: 300%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 24 × (1 + 3) = 24 × 4 = 96.

In a spreadsheet: =(96-24)/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 4 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 400. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $24 to $96 has gone up by 300%.

Why the change back is different

A 300% rise followed by a 300% fall does not bring you back to 24: it gives -192. The second percentage is taken of 96, not of 24, so to undo this change you need 75% instead.
