How to work it out

  1. Difference: 21 − 95 = -74
  2. Divide by the starting value: -74 ÷ 95 = -0.778947
  3. Multiply by 100: -77.8947%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 95 × (1 − 0.778947) = 95 × 0.221053 = 21.

In a spreadsheet: =(21-95)/95*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 22.1053% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 22.1053, so 77.8947 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $95 to $21 is a 77.8947% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 77.8947% fall followed by a 77.8947% rise does not bring you back to 95: it gives 37.3579. The second percentage is taken of 21, not of 95, so to undo this change you need 352.381% instead.
