How to work it out

  1. Difference: 11 − 44 = -33
  2. Divide by the starting value: -33 ÷ 44 = -0.75
  3. Multiply by 100: -75%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 − 0.75) = 44 × 0.25 = 11.

In a spreadsheet: =(11-44)/44*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 25% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 25, so 75 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $44 to $11 is a 75% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 75% fall followed by a 75% rise does not bring you back to 44: it gives 19.25. The second percentage is taken of 11, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 300% instead.
