How to work it out

  1. Difference: 24 − 89 = -65
  2. Divide by the starting value: -65 ÷ 89 = -0.730337
  3. Multiply by 100: -73.0337%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 89 × (1 − 0.730337) = 89 × 0.269663 = 24.

In a spreadsheet: =(24-89)/89*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 26.9663% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 26.9663, so 73.0337 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $89 to $24 is a 73.0337% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 73.0337% fall followed by a 73.0337% rise does not bring you back to 89: it gives 41.5281. The second percentage is taken of 24, not of 89, so to undo this change you need 270.8333% instead.
