How to work it out

  1. Difference: 14 − 65 = -51
  2. Divide by the starting value: -51 ÷ 65 = -0.784615
  3. Multiply by 100: -78.4615%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 65 × (1 − 0.784615) = 65 × 0.215385 = 14.

In a spreadsheet: =(14-65)/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 21.5385% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 21.5385, so 78.4615 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $65 to $14 is a 78.4615% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 78.4615% fall followed by a 78.4615% rise does not bring you back to 65: it gives 24.9846. The second percentage is taken of 14, not of 65, so to undo this change you need 364.2857% instead.
