How to work it out

  1. Difference: 30 − 92 = -62
  2. Divide by the starting value: -62 ÷ 92 = -0.673913
  3. Multiply by 100: -67.3913%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 92 × (1 − 0.673913) = 92 × 0.326087 = 30.

In a spreadsheet: =(30-92)/92*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 32.6087% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 32.6087, so 67.3913 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $92 to $30 is a 67.3913% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 67.3913% fall followed by a 67.3913% rise does not bring you back to 92: it gives 50.2174. The second percentage is taken of 30, not of 92, so to undo this change you need 206.6667% instead.
