How to work it out

  1. Difference: 17 − 76 = -59
  2. Divide by the starting value: -59 ÷ 76 = -0.776316
  3. Multiply by 100: -77.6316%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 76 × (1 − 0.776316) = 76 × 0.223684 = 17.

In a spreadsheet: =(17-76)/76*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 22.3684% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 22.3684, so 77.6316 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $76 to $17 is a 77.6316% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 77.6316% fall followed by a 77.6316% rise does not bring you back to 76: it gives 30.1974. The second percentage is taken of 17, not of 76, so to undo this change you need 347.0588% instead.
