How to work it out

  1. Difference: 43 − 93 = -50
  2. Divide by the starting value: -50 ÷ 93 = -0.537634
  3. Multiply by 100: -53.7634%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 93 × (1 − 0.537634) = 93 × 0.462366 = 43.

In a spreadsheet: =(43-93)/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 46.2366% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 46.2366, so 53.7634 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $93 to $43 is a 53.7634% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 53.7634% fall followed by a 53.7634% rise does not bring you back to 93: it gives 66.1183. The second percentage is taken of 43, not of 93, so to undo this change you need 116.2791% instead.
