How to work it out

  1. Difference: 58 − 94 = -36
  2. Divide by the starting value: -36 ÷ 94 = -0.382979
  3. Multiply by 100: -38.2979%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.382979) = 94 × 0.617021 = 58.

In a spreadsheet: =(58-94)/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 61.7021% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 61.7021, so 38.2979 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $58 is a 38.2979% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 38.2979% fall followed by a 38.2979% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 80.2128. The second percentage is taken of 58, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 62.069% instead.
