How to work it out

  1. Difference: 71 − 95 = -24
  2. Divide by the starting value: -24 ÷ 95 = -0.252632
  3. Multiply by 100: -25.2632%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 95 × (1 − 0.252632) = 95 × 0.747368 = 71.

In a spreadsheet: =(71-95)/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 74.7368% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 74.7368, so 25.2632 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $95 to $71 is a 25.2632% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 25.2632% fall followed by a 25.2632% rise does not bring you back to 95: it gives 88.9368. The second percentage is taken of 71, not of 95, so to undo this change you need 33.8028% instead.
