How to work it out

  1. Difference: 76 − 61 = 15
  2. Divide by the starting value: 15 ÷ 61 = 0.245902
  3. Multiply by 100: 24.5902%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 61 × (1 + 0.245902) = 61 × 1.245902 = 76.

In a spreadsheet: =(76-61)/61*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 1.2459 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 124.5902.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $61 to $76 has gone up by 24.5902%.

Why the change back is different

A 24.5902% rise followed by a 24.5902% fall does not bring you back to 61: it gives 57.3115. The second percentage is taken of 76, not of 61, so to undo this change you need 19.7368% instead.
