How to work it out

  1. Difference: 44 − 57 = -13
  2. Divide by the starting value: -13 ÷ 57 = -0.22807
  3. Multiply by 100: -22.807%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 57 × (1 − 0.22807) = 57 × 0.77193 = 44.

In a spreadsheet: =(44-57)/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 77.193% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 77.193, so 22.807 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $57 to $44 is a 22.807% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 22.807% fall followed by a 22.807% rise does not bring you back to 57: it gives 54.0351. The second percentage is taken of 44, not of 57, so to undo this change you need 29.5455% instead.
