How to work it out

  1. Difference: 63 − 94 = -31
  2. Divide by the starting value: -31 ÷ 94 = -0.329787
  3. Multiply by 100: -32.9787%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.329787) = 94 × 0.670213 = 63.

In a spreadsheet: =(63-94)/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 67.0213% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 67.0213, so 32.9787 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $63 is a 32.9787% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 32.9787% fall followed by a 32.9787% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 83.7766. The second percentage is taken of 63, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 49.2063% instead.
