How to work it out

  1. Difference: 69 − 33 = 36
  2. Divide by the starting value: 36 ÷ 33 = 1.090909
  3. Multiply by 100: 109.0909%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 33 × (1 + 1.090909) = 33 × 2.090909 = 69.

In a spreadsheet: =(69-33)/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 2.0909 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 209.0909. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $33 to $69 has gone up by 109.0909%.

Why the change back is different

A 109.0909% rise followed by a 109.0909% fall does not bring you back to 33: it gives -6.2727. The second percentage is taken of 69, not of 33, so to undo this change you need 52.1739% instead.
