How to work it out

  1. Difference: 22 − 37 = -15
  2. Divide by the starting value: -15 ÷ 37 = -0.405405
  3. Multiply by 100: -40.5405%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 − 0.405405) = 37 × 0.594595 = 22.

In a spreadsheet: =(22-37)/37*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 59.4595% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 59.4595, so 40.5405 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $37 to $22 is a 40.5405% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 40.5405% fall followed by a 40.5405% rise does not bring you back to 37: it gives 30.9189. The second percentage is taken of 22, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 68.1818% instead.
