How to work it out

  1. Difference: 65 − 28 = 37
  2. Divide by the starting value: 37 ÷ 28 = 1.321429
  3. Multiply by 100: 132.1429%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 28 × (1 + 1.321429) = 28 × 2.321429 = 65.

In a spreadsheet: =(65-28)/28*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 2.3214 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 232.1429. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $28 to $65 has gone up by 132.1429%.

Why the change back is different

A 132.1429% rise followed by a 132.1429% fall does not bring you back to 28: it gives -20.8929. The second percentage is taken of 65, not of 28, so to undo this change you need 56.9231% instead.
