How to work it out

  1. Difference: 52 − 92 = -40
  2. Divide by the starting value: -40 ÷ 92 = -0.434783
  3. Multiply by 100: -43.4783%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 92 × (1 − 0.434783) = 92 × 0.565217 = 52.

In a spreadsheet: =(52-92)/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 56.5217% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 56.5217, so 43.4783 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $92 to $52 is a 43.4783% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 43.4783% fall followed by a 43.4783% rise does not bring you back to 92: it gives 74.6087. The second percentage is taken of 52, not of 92, so to undo this change you need 76.9231% instead.
