How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 31 = 63
  2. Divide by the starting value: 63 ÷ 31 = 2.032258
  3. Multiply by 100: 203.2258%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 31 × (1 + 2.032258) = 31 × 3.032258 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-31)/31*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 3.0323 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 303.2258. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $31 to $94 has gone up by 203.2258%.

Why the change back is different

A 203.2258% rise followed by a 203.2258% fall does not bring you back to 31: it gives -97.0323. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 31, so to undo this change you need 67.0213% instead.
