How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 74 = 26
  2. Divide by the starting value: 26 ÷ 74 = 0.351351
  3. Multiply by 100: 35.1351%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 74 × (1 + 0.351351) = 74 × 1.351351 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-74)/74*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 1.3514 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 135.1351.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $74 to $100 has gone up by 35.1351%.

Why the change back is different

A 35.1351% rise followed by a 35.1351% fall does not bring you back to 74: it gives 64.8649. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 74, so to undo this change you need 26% instead.
