How to work it out

  1. Difference: 26 − 93 = -67
  2. Divide by the starting value: -67 ÷ 93 = -0.72043
  3. Multiply by 100: -72.043%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 93 × (1 − 0.72043) = 93 × 0.27957 = 26.

In a spreadsheet: =(26-93)/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 27.957% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 27.957, so 72.043 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $93 to $26 is a 72.043% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 72.043% fall followed by a 72.043% rise does not bring you back to 93: it gives 44.7312. The second percentage is taken of 26, not of 93, so to undo this change you need 257.6923% instead.
