How to work it out

  1. Difference: 77 − 28 = 49
  2. Divide by the starting value: 49 ÷ 28 = 1.75
  3. Multiply by 100: 175%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 28 × (1 + 1.75) = 28 × 2.75 = 77.

In a spreadsheet: =(77-28)/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 2.75 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 275. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $28 to $77 has gone up by 175%.

Why the change back is different

A 175% rise followed by a 175% fall does not bring you back to 28: it gives -57.75. The second percentage is taken of 77, not of 28, so to undo this change you need 63.6364% instead.
