How to work it out

  1. Difference: 44 − 54 = -10
  2. Divide by the starting value: -10 ÷ 54 = -0.185185
  3. Multiply by 100: -18.5185%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 54 × (1 − 0.185185) = 54 × 0.814815 = 44.

In a spreadsheet: =(44-54)/54*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 81.4815% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 81.4815, so 18.5185 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $54 to $44 is a 18.5185% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 18.5185% fall followed by a 18.5185% rise does not bring you back to 54: it gives 52.1481. The second percentage is taken of 44, not of 54, so to undo this change you need 22.7273% instead.
