How to work it out

  1. Difference: 61 − 94 = -33
  2. Divide by the starting value: -33 ÷ 94 = -0.351064
  3. Multiply by 100: -35.1064%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.351064) = 94 × 0.648936 = 61.

In a spreadsheet: =(61-94)/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 64.8936% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 64.8936, so 35.1064 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $61 is a 35.1064% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 35.1064% fall followed by a 35.1064% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 82.4149. The second percentage is taken of 61, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 54.0984% instead.
