How to work it out

  1. Difference: 70 − 43 = 27
  2. Divide by the starting value: 27 ÷ 43 = 0.627907
  3. Multiply by 100: 62.7907%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 + 0.627907) = 43 × 1.627907 = 70.

In a spreadsheet: =(70-43)/43*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 1.6279 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 162.7907.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $43 to $70 has gone up by 62.7907%.

Why the change back is different

A 62.7907% rise followed by a 62.7907% fall does not bring you back to 43: it gives 26.0465. The second percentage is taken of 70, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 38.5714% instead.
