How to work it out

  1. Difference: 70 − 94 = -24
  2. Divide by the starting value: -24 ÷ 94 = -0.255319
  3. Multiply by 100: -25.5319%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.255319) = 94 × 0.744681 = 70.

In a spreadsheet: =(70-94)/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 74.4681% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 74.4681, so 25.5319 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $70 is a 25.5319% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 25.5319% fall followed by a 25.5319% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 87.8723. The second percentage is taken of 70, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 34.2857% instead.
