How to work it out

  1. Difference: 25 − 79 = -54
  2. Divide by the starting value: -54 ÷ 79 = -0.683544
  3. Multiply by 100: -68.3544%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 79 × (1 − 0.683544) = 79 × 0.316456 = 25.

In a spreadsheet: =(25-79)/79*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 31.6456% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 31.6456, so 68.3544 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $79 to $25 is a 68.3544% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 68.3544% fall followed by a 68.3544% rise does not bring you back to 79: it gives 42.0886. The second percentage is taken of 25, not of 79, so to undo this change you need 216% instead.
