How to work it out

  1. Difference: 26 − 35 = -9
  2. Divide by the starting value: -9 ÷ 35 = -0.257143
  3. Multiply by 100: -25.7143%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 35 × (1 − 0.257143) = 35 × 0.742857 = 26.

In a spreadsheet: =(26-35)/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 74.2857% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 74.2857, so 25.7143 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $35 to $26 is a 25.7143% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 25.7143% fall followed by a 25.7143% rise does not bring you back to 35: it gives 32.6857. The second percentage is taken of 26, not of 35, so to undo this change you need 34.6154% instead.
