How to work it out

  1. Difference: 51 − 92 = -41
  2. Divide by the starting value: -41 ÷ 92 = -0.445652
  3. Multiply by 100: -44.5652%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 92 × (1 − 0.445652) = 92 × 0.554348 = 51.

In a spreadsheet: =(51-92)/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 55.4348% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 55.4348, so 44.5652 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $92 to $51 is a 44.5652% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 44.5652% fall followed by a 44.5652% rise does not bring you back to 92: it gives 73.7283. The second percentage is taken of 51, not of 92, so to undo this change you need 80.3922% instead.
