How to work it out

  1. Difference: 74 − 29 = 45
  2. Divide by the starting value: 45 ÷ 29 = 1.551724
  3. Multiply by 100: 155.1724%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 29 × (1 + 1.551724) = 29 × 2.551724 = 74.

In a spreadsheet: =(74-29)/29*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 2.5517 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 255.1724. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $29 to $74 has gone up by 155.1724%.

Why the change back is different

A 155.1724% rise followed by a 155.1724% fall does not bring you back to 29: it gives -40.8276. The second percentage is taken of 74, not of 29, so to undo this change you need 60.8108% instead.
