How to work it out

  1. Difference: 35 − 66 = -31
  2. Divide by the starting value: -31 ÷ 66 = -0.469697
  3. Multiply by 100: -46.9697%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 66 × (1 − 0.469697) = 66 × 0.530303 = 35.

In a spreadsheet: =(35-66)/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 53.0303% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 53.0303, so 46.9697 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $66 to $35 is a 46.9697% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 46.9697% fall followed by a 46.9697% rise does not bring you back to 66: it gives 51.4394. The second percentage is taken of 35, not of 66, so to undo this change you need 88.5714% instead.
