How to work it out

  1. Difference: 50 − 33 = 17
  2. Divide by the starting value: 17 ÷ 33 = 0.515152
  3. Multiply by 100: 51.5152%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 33 × (1 + 0.515152) = 33 × 1.515152 = 50.

In a spreadsheet: =(50-33)/33*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 1.5152 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 151.5152.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $33 to $50 has gone up by 51.5152%.

Why the change back is different

A 51.5152% rise followed by a 51.5152% fall does not bring you back to 33: it gives 24.2424. The second percentage is taken of 50, not of 33, so to undo this change you need 34% instead.
