How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 96 = -82
  2. Divide by the starting value: -82 ÷ 96 = -0.854167
  3. Multiply by 100: -85.4167%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 96 × (1 − 0.854167) = 96 × 0.145833 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-96)/96*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 14.5833% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 14.5833, so 85.4167 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $96 to $14 is a 85.4167% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 85.4167% fall followed by a 85.4167% rise does not bring you back to 96: it gives 25.9583. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 96, so to undo this change you need 585.7143% instead.
