How to work it out

  1. Difference: 8 − 35 = -27
  2. Divide by the starting value: -27 ÷ 35 = -0.771429
  3. Multiply by 100: -77.1429%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 35 × (1 − 0.771429) = 35 × 0.228571 = 8.

In a spreadsheet: =(8-35)/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 22.8571% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 22.8571, so 77.1429 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $35 to $8 is a 77.1429% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 77.1429% fall followed by a 77.1429% rise does not bring you back to 35: it gives 14.1714. The second percentage is taken of 8, not of 35, so to undo this change you need 337.5% instead.
