How to work it out

  1. Difference: 95 − 68 = 27
  2. Divide by the starting value: 27 ÷ 68 = 0.397059
  3. Multiply by 100: 39.7059%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 68 × (1 + 0.397059) = 68 × 1.397059 = 95.

In a spreadsheet: =(95-68)/68*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 1.3971 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 139.7059.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $68 to $95 has gone up by 39.7059%.

Why the change back is different

A 39.7059% rise followed by a 39.7059% fall does not bring you back to 68: it gives 57.2794. The second percentage is taken of 95, not of 68, so to undo this change you need 28.4211% instead.
