How to work it out

  1. Difference: 57 − 95 = -38
  2. Divide by the starting value: -38 ÷ 95 = -0.4
  3. Multiply by 100: -40%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 95 × (1 − 0.4) = 95 × 0.6 = 57.

In a spreadsheet: =(57-95)/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 60% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 60, so 40 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $95 to $57 is a 40% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 40% fall followed by a 40% rise does not bring you back to 95: it gives 79.8. The second percentage is taken of 57, not of 95, so to undo this change you need 66.6667% instead.
