How to work it out

  1. Difference: 68 − 93 = -25
  2. Divide by the starting value: -25 ÷ 93 = -0.268817
  3. Multiply by 100: -26.8817%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 93 × (1 − 0.268817) = 93 × 0.731183 = 68.

In a spreadsheet: =(68-93)/93*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 73.1183% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 73.1183, so 26.8817 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $93 to $68 is a 26.8817% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 26.8817% fall followed by a 26.8817% rise does not bring you back to 93: it gives 86.2796. The second percentage is taken of 68, not of 93, so to undo this change you need 36.7647% instead.
