How to work it out

  1. Difference: 57 − 84 = -27
  2. Divide by the starting value: -27 ÷ 84 = -0.321429
  3. Multiply by 100: -32.1429%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 84 × (1 − 0.321429) = 84 × 0.678571 = 57.

In a spreadsheet: =(57-84)/84*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 67.8571% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 67.8571, so 32.1429 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $84 to $57 is a 32.1429% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 32.1429% fall followed by a 32.1429% rise does not bring you back to 84: it gives 75.3214. The second percentage is taken of 57, not of 84, so to undo this change you need 47.3684% instead.
