How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 35 = -21
  2. Divide by the starting value: -21 ÷ 35 = -0.6
  3. Multiply by 100: -60%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 35 × (1 − 0.6) = 35 × 0.4 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-35)/35*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 40% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 40, so 60 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $35 to $14 is a 60% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 60% fall followed by a 60% rise does not bring you back to 35: it gives 22.4. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 35, so to undo this change you need 150% instead.
