How to work it out

  1. Difference: 24 − 43 = -19
  2. Divide by the starting value: -19 ÷ 43 = -0.44186
  3. Multiply by 100: -44.186%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 43 × (1 − 0.44186) = 43 × 0.55814 = 24.

In a spreadsheet: =(24-43)/43*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 55.814% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 55.814, so 44.186 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $43 to $24 is a 44.186% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 44.186% fall followed by a 44.186% rise does not bring you back to 43: it gives 34.6047. The second percentage is taken of 24, not of 43, so to undo this change you need 79.1667% instead.
