How to work it out

  1. Difference: 75 − 8 = 67
  2. Divide by the starting value: 67 ÷ 8 = 8.375
  3. Multiply by 100: 837.5%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 8 × (1 + 8.375) = 8 × 9.375 = 75.

In a spreadsheet: =(75-8)/8*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 9.375 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 937.5. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $8 to $75 has gone up by 837.5%.

Why the change back is different

A 837.5% rise followed by a 837.5% fall does not bring you back to 8: it gives -553.125. The second percentage is taken of 75, not of 8, so to undo this change you need 89.3333% instead.
