How to work it out

  1. Difference: 88 − 29 = 59
  2. Divide by the starting value: 59 ÷ 29 = 2.034483
  3. Multiply by 100: 203.4483%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 29 × (1 + 2.034483) = 29 × 3.034483 = 88.

In a spreadsheet: =(88-29)/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 3.0345 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 303.4483. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $29 to $88 has gone up by 203.4483%.

Why the change back is different

A 203.4483% rise followed by a 203.4483% fall does not bring you back to 29: it gives -91.0345. The second percentage is taken of 88, not of 29, so to undo this change you need 67.0455% instead.
