How to work it out

  1. Difference: 67 − 88 = -21
  2. Divide by the starting value: -21 ÷ 88 = -0.238636
  3. Multiply by 100: -23.8636%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 88 × (1 − 0.238636) = 88 × 0.761364 = 67.

In a spreadsheet: =(67-88)/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 76.1364% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 76.1364, so 23.8636 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $88 to $67 is a 23.8636% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 23.8636% fall followed by a 23.8636% rise does not bring you back to 88: it gives 82.9886. The second percentage is taken of 67, not of 88, so to undo this change you need 31.3433% instead.
