How to work it out

  1. Difference: 23 − 67 = -44
  2. Divide by the starting value: -44 ÷ 67 = -0.656716
  3. Multiply by 100: -65.6716%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 67 × (1 − 0.656716) = 67 × 0.343284 = 23.

In a spreadsheet: =(23-67)/67*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 34.3284% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 34.3284, so 65.6716 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $67 to $23 is a 65.6716% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 65.6716% fall followed by a 65.6716% rise does not bring you back to 67: it gives 38.1045. The second percentage is taken of 23, not of 67, so to undo this change you need 191.3043% instead.
