How to work it out

  1. Difference: 97 − 44 = 53
  2. Divide by the starting value: 53 ÷ 44 = 1.204545
  3. Multiply by 100: 120.4545%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 + 1.204545) = 44 × 2.204545 = 97.

In a spreadsheet: =(97-44)/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 2.2045 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 220.4545. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $44 to $97 has gone up by 120.4545%.

Why the change back is different

A 120.4545% rise followed by a 120.4545% fall does not bring you back to 44: it gives -19.8409. The second percentage is taken of 97, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 54.6392% instead.
