How to work it out

  1. Difference: 55 − 94 = -39
  2. Divide by the starting value: -39 ÷ 94 = -0.414894
  3. Multiply by 100: -41.4894%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.414894) = 94 × 0.585106 = 55.

In a spreadsheet: =(55-94)/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 58.5106% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 58.5106, so 41.4894 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $55 is a 41.4894% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 41.4894% fall followed by a 41.4894% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 77.8191. The second percentage is taken of 55, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 70.9091% instead.
