How to work it out

  1. Difference: 96 − 54 = 42
  2. Divide by the starting value: 42 ÷ 54 = 0.777778
  3. Multiply by 100: 77.7778%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 54 × (1 + 0.777778) = 54 × 1.777778 = 96.

In a spreadsheet: =(96-54)/54*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 1.7778 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 177.7778.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $54 to $96 has gone up by 77.7778%.

Why the change back is different

A 77.7778% rise followed by a 77.7778% fall does not bring you back to 54: it gives 21.3333. The second percentage is taken of 96, not of 54, so to undo this change you need 43.75% instead.
