How to work it out

  1. Difference: 91 − 78 = 13
  2. Divide by the starting value: 13 ÷ 78 = 0.166667
  3. Multiply by 100: 16.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 78 × (1 + 0.166667) = 78 × 1.166667 = 91.

In a spreadsheet: =(91-78)/78*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 1.1667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 116.6667.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $78 to $91 has gone up by 16.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 16.6667% rise followed by a 16.6667% fall does not bring you back to 78: it gives 75.8333. The second percentage is taken of 91, not of 78, so to undo this change you need 14.2857% instead.
