How to work it out

  1. Difference: 59 − 32 = 27
  2. Divide by the starting value: 27 ÷ 32 = 0.84375
  3. Multiply by 100: 84.375%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 32 × (1 + 0.84375) = 32 × 1.84375 = 59.

In a spreadsheet: =(59-32)/32*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 1.8438 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 184.375.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $32 to $59 has gone up by 84.375%.

Why the change back is different

A 84.375% rise followed by a 84.375% fall does not bring you back to 32: it gives 9.2188. The second percentage is taken of 59, not of 32, so to undo this change you need 45.7627% instead.
