How to work it out

  1. Difference: 36 − 92 = -56
  2. Divide by the starting value: -56 ÷ 92 = -0.608696
  3. Multiply by 100: -60.8696%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 92 × (1 − 0.608696) = 92 × 0.391304 = 36.

In a spreadsheet: =(36-92)/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 39.1304% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 39.1304, so 60.8696 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $92 to $36 is a 60.8696% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 60.8696% fall followed by a 60.8696% rise does not bring you back to 92: it gives 57.913. The second percentage is taken of 36, not of 92, so to undo this change you need 155.5556% instead.
