How to work it out

  1. Difference: 10 − 57 = -47
  2. Divide by the starting value: -47 ÷ 57 = -0.824561
  3. Multiply by 100: -82.4561%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 57 × (1 − 0.824561) = 57 × 0.175439 = 10.

In a spreadsheet: =(10-57)/57*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 17.5439% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 17.5439, so 82.4561 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $57 to $10 is a 82.4561% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 82.4561% fall followed by a 82.4561% rise does not bring you back to 57: it gives 18.2456. The second percentage is taken of 10, not of 57, so to undo this change you need 470% instead.
