How to work it out

  1. Difference: 89 − 46 = 43
  2. Divide by the starting value: 43 ÷ 46 = 0.934783
  3. Multiply by 100: 93.4783%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 46 × (1 + 0.934783) = 46 × 1.934783 = 89.

In a spreadsheet: =(89-46)/46*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 1.9348 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 193.4783.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $46 to $89 has gone up by 93.4783%.

Why the change back is different

A 93.4783% rise followed by a 93.4783% fall does not bring you back to 46: it gives 5.8043. The second percentage is taken of 89, not of 46, so to undo this change you need 48.3146% instead.
