How to work it out

  1. Difference: 96 − 90 = 6
  2. Divide by the starting value: 6 ÷ 90 = 0.066667
  3. Multiply by 100: 6.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 90 × (1 + 0.066667) = 90 × 1.066667 = 96.

In a spreadsheet: =(96-90)/90*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 1.0667 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 106.6667.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $90 to $96 has gone up by 6.6667%.

Why the change back is different

A 6.6667% rise followed by a 6.6667% fall does not bring you back to 90: it gives 89.6. The second percentage is taken of 96, not of 90, so to undo this change you need 6.25% instead.
