How to work it out

  1. Difference: 51 − 6 = 45
  2. Divide by the starting value: 45 ÷ 6 = 7.5
  3. Multiply by 100: 750%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 6 × (1 + 7.5) = 6 × 8.5 = 51.

In a spreadsheet: =(51-6)/6*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 8.5 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 850. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $6 to $51 has gone up by 750%.

Why the change back is different

A 750% rise followed by a 750% fall does not bring you back to 6: it gives -331.5. The second percentage is taken of 51, not of 6, so to undo this change you need 88.2353% instead.
