How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 76 = 24
  2. Divide by the starting value: 24 ÷ 76 = 0.315789
  3. Multiply by 100: 31.5789%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 76 × (1 + 0.315789) = 76 × 1.315789 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-76)/76*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 1.3158 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 131.5789.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $76 to $100 has gone up by 31.5789%.

Why the change back is different

A 31.5789% rise followed by a 31.5789% fall does not bring you back to 76: it gives 68.4211. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 76, so to undo this change you need 24% instead.
