How to work it out

  1. Difference: 57 − 65 = -8
  2. Divide by the starting value: -8 ÷ 65 = -0.123077
  3. Multiply by 100: -12.3077%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 65 × (1 − 0.123077) = 65 × 0.876923 = 57.

In a spreadsheet: =(57-65)/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 87.6923% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 87.6923, so 12.3077 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $65 to $57 is a 12.3077% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 12.3077% fall followed by a 12.3077% rise does not bring you back to 65: it gives 64.0154. The second percentage is taken of 57, not of 65, so to undo this change you need 14.0351% instead.
