How to work it out

  1. Difference: 76 − 51 = 25
  2. Divide by the starting value: 25 ÷ 51 = 0.490196
  3. Multiply by 100: 49.0196%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 51 × (1 + 0.490196) = 51 × 1.490196 = 76.

In a spreadsheet: =(76-51)/51*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 1.4902 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 149.0196.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $51 to $76 has gone up by 49.0196%.

Why the change back is different

A 49.0196% rise followed by a 49.0196% fall does not bring you back to 51: it gives 38.7451. The second percentage is taken of 76, not of 51, so to undo this change you need 32.8947% instead.
