How to work it out

  1. Difference: 90 − 39 = 51
  2. Divide by the starting value: 51 ÷ 39 = 1.307692
  3. Multiply by 100: 130.7692%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 39 × (1 + 1.307692) = 39 × 2.307692 = 90.

In a spreadsheet: =(90-39)/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 2.3077 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 230.7692. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $39 to $90 has gone up by 130.7692%.

Why the change back is different

A 130.7692% rise followed by a 130.7692% fall does not bring you back to 39: it gives -27.6923. The second percentage is taken of 90, not of 39, so to undo this change you need 56.6667% instead.
