How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 24 = -10
  2. Divide by the starting value: -10 ÷ 24 = -0.416667
  3. Multiply by 100: -41.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 24 × (1 − 0.416667) = 24 × 0.583333 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-24)/24*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 58.3333% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 58.3333, so 41.6667 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $24 to $14 is a 41.6667% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 41.6667% fall followed by a 41.6667% rise does not bring you back to 24: it gives 19.8333. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 24, so to undo this change you need 71.4286% instead.
