How to work it out

  1. Difference: 32 − 63 = -31
  2. Divide by the starting value: -31 ÷ 63 = -0.492063
  3. Multiply by 100: -49.2063%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 63 × (1 − 0.492063) = 63 × 0.507937 = 32.

In a spreadsheet: =(32-63)/63*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 50.7937% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 50.7937, so 49.2063 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $63 to $32 is a 49.2063% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 49.2063% fall followed by a 49.2063% rise does not bring you back to 63: it gives 47.746. The second percentage is taken of 32, not of 63, so to undo this change you need 96.875% instead.
