How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 71 = 29
  2. Divide by the starting value: 29 ÷ 71 = 0.408451
  3. Multiply by 100: 40.8451%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 71 × (1 + 0.408451) = 71 × 1.408451 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-71)/71*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 1.4085 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 140.8451.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $71 to $100 has gone up by 40.8451%.

Why the change back is different

A 40.8451% rise followed by a 40.8451% fall does not bring you back to 71: it gives 59.1549. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 71, so to undo this change you need 29% instead.
