How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 69 = -11
  2. Divide by the starting value: -11 ÷ 69 = -0.15942
  3. Multiply by 100: -15.942%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 69 × (1 − 0.15942) = 69 × 0.84058 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-69)/69*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 84.058% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 84.058, so 15.942 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $69 to $58 is a 15.942% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 15.942% fall followed by a 15.942% rise does not bring you back to 69: it gives 67.2464. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 69, so to undo this change you need 18.9655% instead.
