How to work it out

  1. Difference: 25 − 93 = -68
  2. Divide by the starting value: -68 ÷ 93 = -0.731183
  3. Multiply by 100: -73.1183%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 93 × (1 − 0.731183) = 93 × 0.268817 = 25.

In a spreadsheet: =(25-93)/93*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 26.8817% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 26.8817, so 73.1183 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $93 to $25 is a 73.1183% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 73.1183% fall followed by a 73.1183% rise does not bring you back to 93: it gives 43.2796. The second percentage is taken of 25, not of 93, so to undo this change you need 272% instead.
