How to work it out

  1. Difference: 1 − 44 = -43
  2. Divide by the starting value: -43 ÷ 44 = -0.977273
  3. Multiply by 100: -97.7273%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 − 0.977273) = 44 × 0.022727 = 1.

In a spreadsheet: =(1-44)/44*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 2.2727% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 2.2727, so 97.7273 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $44 to $1 is a 97.7273% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 97.7273% fall followed by a 97.7273% rise does not bring you back to 44: it gives 1.9773. The second percentage is taken of 1, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 4,300% instead.
