How to work it out

  1. Difference: 94 − 74 = 20
  2. Divide by the starting value: 20 ÷ 74 = 0.27027
  3. Multiply by 100: 27.027%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 74 × (1 + 0.27027) = 74 × 1.27027 = 94.

In a spreadsheet: =(94-74)/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 1.2703 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 127.027.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $74 to $94 has gone up by 27.027%.

Why the change back is different

A 27.027% rise followed by a 27.027% fall does not bring you back to 74: it gives 68.5946. The second percentage is taken of 94, not of 74, so to undo this change you need 21.2766% instead.
