How to work it out

  1. Difference: 77 − 39 = 38
  2. Divide by the starting value: 38 ÷ 39 = 0.974359
  3. Multiply by 100: 97.4359%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 39 × (1 + 0.974359) = 39 × 1.974359 = 77.

In a spreadsheet: =(77-39)/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 1.9744 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 197.4359.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $39 to $77 has gone up by 97.4359%.

Why the change back is different

A 97.4359% rise followed by a 97.4359% fall does not bring you back to 39: it gives 1.9744. The second percentage is taken of 77, not of 39, so to undo this change you need 49.3506% instead.
