How to work it out

  1. Difference: 11 − 39 = -28
  2. Divide by the starting value: -28 ÷ 39 = -0.717949
  3. Multiply by 100: -71.7949%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 39 × (1 − 0.717949) = 39 × 0.282051 = 11.

In a spreadsheet: =(11-39)/39*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 28.2051% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 28.2051, so 71.7949 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $39 to $11 is a 71.7949% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 71.7949% fall followed by a 71.7949% rise does not bring you back to 39: it gives 18.8974. The second percentage is taken of 11, not of 39, so to undo this change you need 254.5455% instead.
