How to work it out

  1. Difference: 98 − 33 = 65
  2. Divide by the starting value: 65 ÷ 33 = 1.969697
  3. Multiply by 100: 196.9697%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 33 × (1 + 1.969697) = 33 × 2.969697 = 98.

In a spreadsheet: =(98-33)/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 2.9697 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 296.9697. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $33 to $98 has gone up by 196.9697%.

Why the change back is different

A 196.9697% rise followed by a 196.9697% fall does not bring you back to 33: it gives -95.0303. The second percentage is taken of 98, not of 33, so to undo this change you need 66.3265% instead.
