How to work it out

  1. Difference: 82 − 45 = 37
  2. Divide by the starting value: 37 ÷ 45 = 0.822222
  3. Multiply by 100: 82.2222%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 45 × (1 + 0.822222) = 45 × 1.822222 = 82.

In a spreadsheet: =(82-45)/45*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 1.8222 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 182.2222.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $45 to $82 has gone up by 82.2222%.

Why the change back is different

A 82.2222% rise followed by a 82.2222% fall does not bring you back to 45: it gives 14.5778. The second percentage is taken of 82, not of 45, so to undo this change you need 45.122% instead.
