How to work it out

  1. Difference: 61 − 67 = -6
  2. Divide by the starting value: -6 ÷ 67 = -0.089552
  3. Multiply by 100: -8.9552%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 67 × (1 − 0.089552) = 67 × 0.910448 = 61.

In a spreadsheet: =(61-67)/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 91.0448% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 91.0448, so 8.9552 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $67 to $61 is a 8.9552% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 8.9552% fall followed by a 8.9552% rise does not bring you back to 67: it gives 66.4627. The second percentage is taken of 61, not of 67, so to undo this change you need 9.8361% instead.
