How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 89 = -31
  2. Divide by the starting value: -31 ÷ 89 = -0.348315
  3. Multiply by 100: -34.8315%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 89 × (1 − 0.348315) = 89 × 0.651685 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-89)/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 65.1685% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 65.1685, so 34.8315 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $89 to $58 is a 34.8315% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 34.8315% fall followed by a 34.8315% rise does not bring you back to 89: it gives 78.2022. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 89, so to undo this change you need 53.4483% instead.
