How to work it out

  1. Difference: 11 − 81 = -70
  2. Divide by the starting value: -70 ÷ 81 = -0.864198
  3. Multiply by 100: -86.4198%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 81 × (1 − 0.864198) = 81 × 0.135802 = 11.

In a spreadsheet: =(11-81)/81*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 13.5802% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 13.5802, so 86.4198 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $81 to $11 is a 86.4198% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 86.4198% fall followed by a 86.4198% rise does not bring you back to 81: it gives 20.5062. The second percentage is taken of 11, not of 81, so to undo this change you need 636.3636% instead.
