How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 53 = 47
  2. Divide by the starting value: 47 ÷ 53 = 0.886792
  3. Multiply by 100: 88.6792%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 53 × (1 + 0.886792) = 53 × 1.886792 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-53)/53*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 1.8868 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 188.6792.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $53 to $100 has gone up by 88.6792%.

Why the change back is different

A 88.6792% rise followed by a 88.6792% fall does not bring you back to 53: it gives 11.3208. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 53, so to undo this change you need 47% instead.
