How to work it out

  1. Difference: 25 − 83 = -58
  2. Divide by the starting value: -58 ÷ 83 = -0.698795
  3. Multiply by 100: -69.8795%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 83 × (1 − 0.698795) = 83 × 0.301205 = 25.

In a spreadsheet: =(25-83)/83*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 30.1205% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 30.1205, so 69.8795 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $83 to $25 is a 69.8795% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 69.8795% fall followed by a 69.8795% rise does not bring you back to 83: it gives 42.4699. The second percentage is taken of 25, not of 83, so to undo this change you need 232% instead.
