How to work it out

  1. Difference: 13 − 54 = -41
  2. Divide by the starting value: -41 ÷ 54 = -0.759259
  3. Multiply by 100: -75.9259%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 54 × (1 − 0.759259) = 54 × 0.240741 = 13.

In a spreadsheet: =(13-54)/54*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 24.0741% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 24.0741, so 75.9259 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $54 to $13 is a 75.9259% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 75.9259% fall followed by a 75.9259% rise does not bring you back to 54: it gives 22.8704. The second percentage is taken of 13, not of 54, so to undo this change you need 315.3846% instead.
