How to work it out

  1. Difference: 32 − 57 = -25
  2. Divide by the starting value: -25 ÷ 57 = -0.438596
  3. Multiply by 100: -43.8596%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 57 × (1 − 0.438596) = 57 × 0.561404 = 32.

In a spreadsheet: =(32-57)/57*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 56.1404% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 56.1404, so 43.8596 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $57 to $32 is a 43.8596% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 43.8596% fall followed by a 43.8596% rise does not bring you back to 57: it gives 46.0351. The second percentage is taken of 32, not of 57, so to undo this change you need 78.125% instead.
