How to work it out

  1. Difference: 26 − 64 = -38
  2. Divide by the starting value: -38 ÷ 64 = -0.59375
  3. Multiply by 100: -59.375%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 64 × (1 − 0.59375) = 64 × 0.40625 = 26.

In a spreadsheet: =(26-64)/64*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 40.625% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 40.625, so 59.375 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $64 to $26 is a 59.375% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 59.375% fall followed by a 59.375% rise does not bring you back to 64: it gives 41.4375. The second percentage is taken of 26, not of 64, so to undo this change you need 146.1538% instead.
