How to work it out

  1. Difference: 10 − 65 = -55
  2. Divide by the starting value: -55 ÷ 65 = -0.846154
  3. Multiply by 100: -84.6154%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 65 × (1 − 0.846154) = 65 × 0.153846 = 10.

In a spreadsheet: =(10-65)/65*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 15.3846% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 15.3846, so 84.6154 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $65 to $10 is a 84.6154% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 84.6154% fall followed by a 84.6154% rise does not bring you back to 65: it gives 18.4615. The second percentage is taken of 10, not of 65, so to undo this change you need 550% instead.
