How to work it out

  1. Difference: 88 − 67 = 21
  2. Divide by the starting value: 21 ÷ 67 = 0.313433
  3. Multiply by 100: 31.3433%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 67 × (1 + 0.313433) = 67 × 1.313433 = 88.

In a spreadsheet: =(88-67)/67*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 1.3134 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 131.3433.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $67 to $88 has gone up by 31.3433%.

Why the change back is different

A 31.3433% rise followed by a 31.3433% fall does not bring you back to 67: it gives 60.4179. The second percentage is taken of 88, not of 67, so to undo this change you need 23.8636% instead.
