How to work it out

  1. Difference: 10 − 35 = -25
  2. Divide by the starting value: -25 ÷ 35 = -0.714286
  3. Multiply by 100: -71.4286%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 35 × (1 − 0.714286) = 35 × 0.285714 = 10.

In a spreadsheet: =(10-35)/35*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 28.5714% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 28.5714, so 71.4286 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $35 to $10 is a 71.4286% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 71.4286% fall followed by a 71.4286% rise does not bring you back to 35: it gives 17.1429. The second percentage is taken of 10, not of 35, so to undo this change you need 250% instead.
