How to work it out

  1. Difference: 1 − 94 = -93
  2. Divide by the starting value: -93 ÷ 94 = -0.989362
  3. Multiply by 100: -98.9362%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.989362) = 94 × 0.010638 = 1.

In a spreadsheet: =(1-94)/94*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 1.0638% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 1.0638, so 98.9362 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $1 is a 98.9362% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 98.9362% fall followed by a 98.9362% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 1.9894. The second percentage is taken of 1, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 9,300% instead.
