How to work it out

  1. Difference: 45 − 82 = -37
  2. Divide by the starting value: -37 ÷ 82 = -0.45122
  3. Multiply by 100: -45.122%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 82 × (1 − 0.45122) = 82 × 0.54878 = 45.

In a spreadsheet: =(45-82)/82*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 54.878% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 54.878, so 45.122 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $82 to $45 is a 45.122% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 45.122% fall followed by a 45.122% rise does not bring you back to 82: it gives 65.3049. The second percentage is taken of 45, not of 82, so to undo this change you need 82.2222% instead.
