  • Percentage change is the difference divided by the original value, not the new one. That base matters.
  • A rise then an equal-percentage fall does NOT return to the start. Percentages are not symmetric because the base changes.
  • The change multiplier is 1.25, meaning the new value is 1.25 times the original.
