How to work it out

  1. Difference: 87 − 80 = 7
  2. Divide by the starting value: 7 ÷ 80 = 0.0875
  3. Multiply by 100: 8.75%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 80 × (1 + 0.0875) = 80 × 1.0875 = 87.

In a spreadsheet: =(87-80)/80*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 1.0875 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 108.75.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $80 to $87 has gone up by 8.75%.

Why the change back is different

A 8.75% rise followed by a 8.75% fall does not bring you back to 80: it gives 79.3875. The second percentage is taken of 87, not of 80, so to undo this change you need 8.046% instead.
