How to work it out

  1. Difference: 56 − 93 = -37
  2. Divide by the starting value: -37 ÷ 93 = -0.397849
  3. Multiply by 100: -39.7849%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 93 × (1 − 0.397849) = 93 × 0.602151 = 56.

In a spreadsheet: =(56-93)/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 60.2151% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 60.2151, so 39.7849 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $93 to $56 is a 39.7849% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 39.7849% fall followed by a 39.7849% rise does not bring you back to 93: it gives 78.2796. The second percentage is taken of 56, not of 93, so to undo this change you need 66.0714% instead.
