How to work it out

  1. Difference: 86 − 76 = 10
  2. Divide by the starting value: 10 ÷ 76 = 0.131579
  3. Multiply by 100: 13.1579%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 76 × (1 + 0.131579) = 76 × 1.131579 = 86.

In a spreadsheet: =(86-76)/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 1.1316 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 113.1579.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $76 to $86 has gone up by 13.1579%.

Why the change back is different

A 13.1579% rise followed by a 13.1579% fall does not bring you back to 76: it gives 74.6842. The second percentage is taken of 86, not of 76, so to undo this change you need 11.6279% instead.
