How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 63 = -49
  2. Divide by the starting value: -49 ÷ 63 = -0.777778
  3. Multiply by 100: -77.7778%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 63 × (1 − 0.777778) = 63 × 0.222222 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-63)/63*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 22.2222% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 22.2222, so 77.7778 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $63 to $14 is a 77.7778% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 77.7778% fall followed by a 77.7778% rise does not bring you back to 63: it gives 24.8889. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 63, so to undo this change you need 350% instead.
