How to work it out

  1. Difference: 83 − 44 = 39
  2. Divide by the starting value: 39 ÷ 44 = 0.886364
  3. Multiply by 100: 88.6364%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 + 0.886364) = 44 × 1.886364 = 83.

In a spreadsheet: =(83-44)/44*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 1.8864 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 188.6364.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $44 to $83 has gone up by 88.6364%.

Why the change back is different

A 88.6364% rise followed by a 88.6364% fall does not bring you back to 44: it gives 9.4318. The second percentage is taken of 83, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 46.988% instead.
