How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 53 = 41
  2. Divide by the starting value: 41 ÷ 53 = 0.773585
  3. Multiply by 100: 77.3585%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 53 × (1 + 0.773585) = 53 × 1.773585 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-53)/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 1.7736 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 177.3585.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $53 to $94 has gone up by 77.3585%.

Why the change back is different

A 77.3585% rise followed by a 77.3585% fall does not bring you back to 53: it gives 21.283. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 53, so to undo this change you need 43.617% instead.
