How to work it out

  1. Difference: 69 − 39 = 30
  2. Divide by the starting value: 30 ÷ 39 = 0.769231
  3. Multiply by 100: 76.9231%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 39 × (1 + 0.769231) = 39 × 1.769231 = 69.

In a spreadsheet: =(69-39)/39*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 1.7692 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 176.9231.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $39 to $69 has gone up by 76.9231%.

Why the change back is different

A 76.9231% rise followed by a 76.9231% fall does not bring you back to 39: it gives 15.9231. The second percentage is taken of 69, not of 39, so to undo this change you need 43.4783% instead.
