How to work it out

  1. Difference: 43 − 65 = -22
  2. Divide by the starting value: -22 ÷ 65 = -0.338462
  3. Multiply by 100: -33.8462%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 65 × (1 − 0.338462) = 65 × 0.661538 = 43.

In a spreadsheet: =(43-65)/65*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 66.1538% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 66.1538, so 33.8462 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $65 to $43 is a 33.8462% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 33.8462% fall followed by a 33.8462% rise does not bring you back to 65: it gives 57.5538. The second percentage is taken of 43, not of 65, so to undo this change you need 51.1628% instead.
