How to work it out

  1. Difference: 24 − 88 = -64
  2. Divide by the starting value: -64 ÷ 88 = -0.727273
  3. Multiply by 100: -72.7273%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 88 × (1 − 0.727273) = 88 × 0.272727 = 24.

In a spreadsheet: =(24-88)/88*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 27.2727% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 27.2727, so 72.7273 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $88 to $24 is a 72.7273% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 72.7273% fall followed by a 72.7273% rise does not bring you back to 88: it gives 41.4545. The second percentage is taken of 24, not of 88, so to undo this change you need 266.6667% instead.
