How to work it out

  1. Difference: 97 − 56 = 41
  2. Divide by the starting value: 41 ÷ 56 = 0.732143
  3. Multiply by 100: 73.2143%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 56 × (1 + 0.732143) = 56 × 1.732143 = 97.

In a spreadsheet: =(97-56)/56*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 1.7321 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 173.2143.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $56 to $97 has gone up by 73.2143%.

Why the change back is different

A 73.2143% rise followed by a 73.2143% fall does not bring you back to 56: it gives 25.9821. The second percentage is taken of 97, not of 56, so to undo this change you need 42.268% instead.
