How to work it out

  1. Difference: 35 − 100 = -65
  2. Divide by the starting value: -65 ÷ 100 = -0.65
  3. Multiply by 100: -65%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 100 × (1 − 0.65) = 100 × 0.35 = 35.

In a spreadsheet: =(35-100)/100*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 35% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 35, so 65 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $100 to $35 is a 65% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 65% fall followed by a 65% rise does not bring you back to 100: it gives 57.75. The second percentage is taken of 35, not of 100, so to undo this change you need 185.7143% instead.
