How to work it out

  1. Difference: 61 − 93 = -32
  2. Divide by the starting value: -32 ÷ 93 = -0.344086
  3. Multiply by 100: -34.4086%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 93 × (1 − 0.344086) = 93 × 0.655914 = 61.

In a spreadsheet: =(61-93)/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 65.5914% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 65.5914, so 34.4086 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $93 to $61 is a 34.4086% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 34.4086% fall followed by a 34.4086% rise does not bring you back to 93: it gives 81.9892. The second percentage is taken of 61, not of 93, so to undo this change you need 52.459% instead.
