How to work it out

  1. Difference: 51 − 95 = -44
  2. Divide by the starting value: -44 ÷ 95 = -0.463158
  3. Multiply by 100: -46.3158%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 95 × (1 − 0.463158) = 95 × 0.536842 = 51.

In a spreadsheet: =(51-95)/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 53.6842% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 53.6842, so 46.3158 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $95 to $51 is a 46.3158% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 46.3158% fall followed by a 46.3158% rise does not bring you back to 95: it gives 74.6211. The second percentage is taken of 51, not of 95, so to undo this change you need 86.2745% instead.
