How to work it out

  1. Difference: 43 − 66 = -23
  2. Divide by the starting value: -23 ÷ 66 = -0.348485
  3. Multiply by 100: -34.8485%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 66 × (1 − 0.348485) = 66 × 0.651515 = 43.

In a spreadsheet: =(43-66)/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 65.1515% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 65.1515, so 34.8485 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $66 to $43 is a 34.8485% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 34.8485% fall followed by a 34.8485% rise does not bring you back to 66: it gives 57.9848. The second percentage is taken of 43, not of 66, so to undo this change you need 53.4884% instead.
