How to work it out

  1. Difference: 87 − 25 = 62
  2. Divide by the starting value: 62 ÷ 25 = 2.48
  3. Multiply by 100: 248%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 25 × (1 + 2.48) = 25 × 3.48 = 87.

In a spreadsheet: =(87-25)/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 3.48 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 348. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $25 to $87 has gone up by 248%.

Why the change back is different

A 248% rise followed by a 248% fall does not bring you back to 25: it gives -128.76. The second percentage is taken of 87, not of 25, so to undo this change you need 71.2644% instead.
