How to work it out

  1. Difference: 66 − 27 = 39
  2. Divide by the starting value: 39 ÷ 27 = 1.444444
  3. Multiply by 100: 144.4444%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 27 × (1 + 1.444444) = 27 × 2.444444 = 66.

In a spreadsheet: =(66-27)/27*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 2.4444 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 244.4444. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $27 to $66 has gone up by 144.4444%.

Why the change back is different

A 144.4444% rise followed by a 144.4444% fall does not bring you back to 27: it gives -29.3333. The second percentage is taken of 66, not of 27, so to undo this change you need 59.0909% instead.
