How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 77 = 23
  2. Divide by the starting value: 23 ÷ 77 = 0.298701
  3. Multiply by 100: 29.8701%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 77 × (1 + 0.298701) = 77 × 1.298701 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-77)/77*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 1.2987 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 129.8701.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $77 to $100 has gone up by 29.8701%.

Why the change back is different

A 29.8701% rise followed by a 29.8701% fall does not bring you back to 77: it gives 70.1299. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 77, so to undo this change you need 23% instead.
