How to work it out

  1. Difference: 31 − 94 = -63
  2. Divide by the starting value: -63 ÷ 94 = -0.670213
  3. Multiply by 100: -67.0213%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.670213) = 94 × 0.329787 = 31.

In a spreadsheet: =(31-94)/94*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 32.9787% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 32.9787, so 67.0213 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $31 is a 67.0213% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 67.0213% fall followed by a 67.0213% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 51.7766. The second percentage is taken of 31, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 203.2258% instead.
