How to work it out

  1. Difference: 96 − 9 = 87
  2. Divide by the starting value: 87 ÷ 9 = 9.666667
  3. Multiply by 100: 966.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 9 × (1 + 9.666667) = 9 × 10.666667 = 96.

In a spreadsheet: =(96-9)/9*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 10.6667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 1,066.6667. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $9 to $96 has gone up by 966.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 966.6667% rise followed by a 966.6667% fall does not bring you back to 9: it gives -832. The second percentage is taken of 96, not of 9, so to undo this change you need 90.625% instead.
