How to work it out

  1. Difference: 6 − 35 = -29
  2. Divide by the starting value: -29 ÷ 35 = -0.828571
  3. Multiply by 100: -82.8571%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 35 × (1 − 0.828571) = 35 × 0.171429 = 6.

In a spreadsheet: =(6-35)/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 17.1429% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 17.1429, so 82.8571 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $35 to $6 is a 82.8571% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 82.8571% fall followed by a 82.8571% rise does not bring you back to 35: it gives 10.9714. The second percentage is taken of 6, not of 35, so to undo this change you need 483.3333% instead.
