How to work it out

  1. Difference: 74 − 43 = 31
  2. Divide by the starting value: 31 ÷ 43 = 0.72093
  3. Multiply by 100: 72.093%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 + 0.72093) = 43 × 1.72093 = 74.

In a spreadsheet: =(74-43)/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 1.7209 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 172.093.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $43 to $74 has gone up by 72.093%.

Why the change back is different

A 72.093% rise followed by a 72.093% fall does not bring you back to 43: it gives 20.6512. The second percentage is taken of 74, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 41.8919% instead.
