How to work it out

  1. Difference: 32 − 65 = -33
  2. Divide by the starting value: -33 ÷ 65 = -0.507692
  3. Multiply by 100: -50.7692%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 65 × (1 − 0.507692) = 65 × 0.492308 = 32.

In a spreadsheet: =(32-65)/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 49.2308% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 49.2308, so 50.7692 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $65 to $32 is a 50.7692% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 50.7692% fall followed by a 50.7692% rise does not bring you back to 65: it gives 48.2462. The second percentage is taken of 32, not of 65, so to undo this change you need 103.125% instead.
