How to work it out

  1. Difference: 99 − 87 = 12
  2. Divide by the starting value: 12 ÷ 87 = 0.137931
  3. Multiply by 100: 13.7931%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 87 × (1 + 0.137931) = 87 × 1.137931 = 99.

In a spreadsheet: =(99-87)/87*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 1.1379 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 113.7931.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $87 to $99 has gone up by 13.7931%.

Why the change back is different

A 13.7931% rise followed by a 13.7931% fall does not bring you back to 87: it gives 85.3448. The second percentage is taken of 99, not of 87, so to undo this change you need 12.1212% instead.
