How to work it out

  1. Difference: 75 − 95 = -20
  2. Divide by the starting value: -20 ÷ 95 = -0.210526
  3. Multiply by 100: -21.0526%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 95 × (1 − 0.210526) = 95 × 0.789474 = 75.

In a spreadsheet: =(75-95)/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 78.9474% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 78.9474, so 21.0526 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $95 to $75 is a 21.0526% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 21.0526% fall followed by a 21.0526% rise does not bring you back to 95: it gives 90.7895. The second percentage is taken of 75, not of 95, so to undo this change you need 26.6667% instead.
