How to work it out

  1. Difference: 88 − 60 = 28
  2. Divide by the starting value: 28 ÷ 60 = 0.466667
  3. Multiply by 100: 46.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 60 × (1 + 0.466667) = 60 × 1.466667 = 88.

In a spreadsheet: =(88-60)/60*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 1.4667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 146.6667.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $60 to $88 has gone up by 46.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 46.6667% rise followed by a 46.6667% fall does not bring you back to 60: it gives 46.9333. The second percentage is taken of 88, not of 60, so to undo this change you need 31.8182% instead.
