How to work it out

  1. Difference: 25 − 37 = -12
  2. Divide by the starting value: -12 ÷ 37 = -0.324324
  3. Multiply by 100: -32.4324%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 37 × (1 − 0.324324) = 37 × 0.675676 = 25.

In a spreadsheet: =(25-37)/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 67.5676% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 67.5676, so 32.4324 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $37 to $25 is a 32.4324% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 32.4324% fall followed by a 32.4324% rise does not bring you back to 37: it gives 33.1081. The second percentage is taken of 25, not of 37, so to undo this change you need 48% instead.
