How to work it out

  1. Difference: 3 − 44 = -41
  2. Divide by the starting value: -41 ÷ 44 = -0.931818
  3. Multiply by 100: -93.1818%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 44 × (1 − 0.931818) = 44 × 0.068182 = 3.

In a spreadsheet: =(3-44)/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 6.8182% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 6.8182, so 93.1818 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $44 to $3 is a 93.1818% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 93.1818% fall followed by a 93.1818% rise does not bring you back to 44: it gives 5.7955. The second percentage is taken of 3, not of 44, so to undo this change you need 1,366.6667% instead.
