How to work it out

  1. Difference: 34 − 94 = -60
  2. Divide by the starting value: -60 ÷ 94 = -0.638298
  3. Multiply by 100: -63.8298%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.638298) = 94 × 0.361702 = 34.

In a spreadsheet: =(34-94)/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 36.1702% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 36.1702, so 63.8298 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $34 is a 63.8298% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 63.8298% fall followed by a 63.8298% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 55.7021. The second percentage is taken of 34, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 176.4706% instead.
