How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 76 = -18
  2. Divide by the starting value: -18 ÷ 76 = -0.236842
  3. Multiply by 100: -23.6842%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 76 × (1 − 0.236842) = 76 × 0.763158 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-76)/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 76.3158% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 76.3158, so 23.6842 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $76 to $58 is a 23.6842% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 23.6842% fall followed by a 23.6842% rise does not bring you back to 76: it gives 71.7368. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 76, so to undo this change you need 31.0345% instead.
