Doubt on retuns percentage

Can any one explain me why does the percentage is different when we see from bottom to top it is 510% where as it we scale from top to bottom it is showing 83% can i know the logic behind it

A stock to going from 48 to 280 means it has gained roughly 500%

But stock going from 280 to 48 means it has lost roughly 80% of its value.

Its simple maths.

48 x 500% = 230

280 x 0.83 = 48
