How to work it out

  1. Difference: 90 − 51 = 39
  2. Divide by the starting value: 39 ÷ 51 = 0.764706
  3. Multiply by 100: 76.4706%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 51 × (1 + 0.764706) = 51 × 1.764706 = 90.

In a spreadsheet: =(90-51)/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 1.7647 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 176.4706.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $51 to $90 has gone up by 76.4706%.

Why the change back is different

A 76.4706% rise followed by a 76.4706% fall does not bring you back to 51: it gives 21.1765. The second percentage is taken of 90, not of 51, so to undo this change you need 43.3333% instead.
