How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 77 = -19
  2. Divide by the starting value: -19 ÷ 77 = -0.246753
  3. Multiply by 100: -24.6753%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 77 × (1 − 0.246753) = 77 × 0.753247 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-77)/77*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 75.3247% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 75.3247, so 24.6753 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $77 to $58 is a 24.6753% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 24.6753% fall followed by a 24.6753% rise does not bring you back to 77: it gives 72.3117. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 77, so to undo this change you need 32.7586% instead.
