How to work it out

  1. Difference: 93 − 46 = 47
  2. Divide by the starting value: 47 ÷ 46 = 1.021739
  3. Multiply by 100: 102.1739%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 46 × (1 + 1.021739) = 46 × 2.021739 = 93.

In a spreadsheet: =(93-46)/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 2.0217 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 202.1739. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $46 to $93 has gone up by 102.1739%.

Why the change back is different

A 102.1739% rise followed by a 102.1739% fall does not bring you back to 46: it gives -2.0217. The second percentage is taken of 93, not of 46, so to undo this change you need 50.5376% instead.
