How to work it out

  1. Difference: 25 − 95 = -70
  2. Divide by the starting value: -70 ÷ 95 = -0.736842
  3. Multiply by 100: -73.6842%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 95 × (1 − 0.736842) = 95 × 0.263158 = 25.

In a spreadsheet: =(25-95)/95*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 26.3158% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 26.3158, so 73.6842 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $95 to $25 is a 73.6842% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 73.6842% fall followed by a 73.6842% rise does not bring you back to 95: it gives 43.4211. The second percentage is taken of 25, not of 95, so to undo this change you need 280% instead.
