How to work it out

  1. Difference: 77 − 69 = 8
  2. Divide by the starting value: 8 ÷ 69 = 0.115942
  3. Multiply by 100: 11.5942%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 69 × (1 + 0.115942) = 69 × 1.115942 = 77.

In a spreadsheet: =(77-69)/69*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 1.1159 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 111.5942.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $69 to $77 has gone up by 11.5942%.

Why the change back is different

A 11.5942% rise followed by a 11.5942% fall does not bring you back to 69: it gives 68.0725. The second percentage is taken of 77, not of 69, so to undo this change you need 10.3896% instead.
