How to work it out

  1. Difference: 10 − 66 = -56
  2. Divide by the starting value: -56 ÷ 66 = -0.848485
  3. Multiply by 100: -84.8485%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 66 × (1 − 0.848485) = 66 × 0.151515 = 10.

In a spreadsheet: =(10-66)/66*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 15.1515% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 15.1515, so 84.8485 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $66 to $10 is a 84.8485% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 84.8485% fall followed by a 84.8485% rise does not bring you back to 66: it gives 18.4848. The second percentage is taken of 10, not of 66, so to undo this change you need 560% instead.
