How to work it out

  1. Difference: 51 − 76 = -25
  2. Divide by the starting value: -25 ÷ 76 = -0.328947
  3. Multiply by 100: -32.8947%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 76 × (1 − 0.328947) = 76 × 0.671053 = 51.

In a spreadsheet: =(51-76)/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 67.1053% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 67.1053, so 32.8947 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $76 to $51 is a 32.8947% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 32.8947% fall followed by a 32.8947% rise does not bring you back to 76: it gives 67.7763. The second percentage is taken of 51, not of 76, so to undo this change you need 49.0196% instead.
