How to work it out

  1. Difference: 84 − 25 = 59
  2. Divide by the starting value: 59 ÷ 25 = 2.36
  3. Multiply by 100: 236%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 25 × (1 + 2.36) = 25 × 3.36 = 84.

In a spreadsheet: =(84-25)/25*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 3.36 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 336. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $25 to $84 has gone up by 236%.

Why the change back is different

A 236% rise followed by a 236% fall does not bring you back to 25: it gives -114.24. The second percentage is taken of 84, not of 25, so to undo this change you need 70.2381% instead.
