How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 26 = 74
  2. Divide by the starting value: 74 ÷ 26 = 2.846154
  3. Multiply by 100: 284.6154%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 26 × (1 + 2.846154) = 26 × 3.846154 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-26)/26*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 3.8462 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 384.6154. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $26 to $100 has gone up by 284.6154%.

Why the change back is different

A 284.6154% rise followed by a 284.6154% fall does not bring you back to 26: it gives -184.6154. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 26, so to undo this change you need 74% instead.
