How to work it out

  1. Difference: 61 − 80 = -19
  2. Divide by the starting value: -19 ÷ 80 = -0.2375
  3. Multiply by 100: -23.75%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 80 × (1 − 0.2375) = 80 × 0.7625 = 61.

In a spreadsheet: =(61-80)/80*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 76.25% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 76.25, so 23.75 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $80 to $61 is a 23.75% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 23.75% fall followed by a 23.75% rise does not bring you back to 80: it gives 75.4875. The second percentage is taken of 61, not of 80, so to undo this change you need 31.1475% instead.
