How to work it out

  1. Difference: 11 − 23 = -12
  2. Divide by the starting value: -12 ÷ 23 = -0.521739
  3. Multiply by 100: -52.1739%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 23 × (1 − 0.521739) = 23 × 0.478261 = 11.

In a spreadsheet: =(11-23)/23*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 47.8261% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 47.8261, so 52.1739 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $23 to $11 is a 52.1739% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 52.1739% fall followed by a 52.1739% rise does not bring you back to 23: it gives 16.7391. The second percentage is taken of 11, not of 23, so to undo this change you need 109.0909% instead.
