How to work it out

  1. Difference: 24 − 37 = -13
  2. Divide by the starting value: -13 ÷ 37 = -0.351351
  3. Multiply by 100: -35.1351%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 − 0.351351) = 37 × 0.648649 = 24.

In a spreadsheet: =(24-37)/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 64.8649% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 64.8649, so 35.1351 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $37 to $24 is a 35.1351% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 35.1351% fall followed by a 35.1351% rise does not bring you back to 37: it gives 32.4324. The second percentage is taken of 24, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 54.1667% instead.
