How to work it out

  1. Difference: 25 − 89 = -64
  2. Divide by the starting value: -64 ÷ 89 = -0.719101
  3. Multiply by 100: -71.9101%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 89 × (1 − 0.719101) = 89 × 0.280899 = 25.

In a spreadsheet: =(25-89)/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 28.0899% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 28.0899, so 71.9101 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $89 to $25 is a 71.9101% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 71.9101% fall followed by a 71.9101% rise does not bring you back to 89: it gives 42.9775. The second percentage is taken of 25, not of 89, so to undo this change you need 256% instead.
