How to work it out

  1. Difference: 48 − 94 = -46
  2. Divide by the starting value: -46 ÷ 94 = -0.489362
  3. Multiply by 100: -48.9362%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.489362) = 94 × 0.510638 = 48.

In a spreadsheet: =(48-94)/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 51.0638% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 51.0638, so 48.9362 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $48 is a 48.9362% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 48.9362% fall followed by a 48.9362% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 71.4894. The second percentage is taken of 48, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 95.8333% instead.
