How to work it out

  1. Difference: 11 − 46 = -35
  2. Divide by the starting value: -35 ÷ 46 = -0.76087
  3. Multiply by 100: -76.087%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 46 × (1 − 0.76087) = 46 × 0.23913 = 11.

In a spreadsheet: =(11-46)/46*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 23.913% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 23.913, so 76.087 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $46 to $11 is a 76.087% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 76.087% fall followed by a 76.087% rise does not bring you back to 46: it gives 19.3696. The second percentage is taken of 11, not of 46, so to undo this change you need 318.1818% instead.
