How to work it out

  1. Difference: 10 − 96 = -86
  2. Divide by the starting value: -86 ÷ 96 = -0.895833
  3. Multiply by 100: -89.5833%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 96 × (1 − 0.895833) = 96 × 0.104167 = 10.

In a spreadsheet: =(10-96)/96*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 10.4167% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 10.4167, so 89.5833 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $96 to $10 is a 89.5833% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 89.5833% fall followed by a 89.5833% rise does not bring you back to 96: it gives 18.9583. The second percentage is taken of 10, not of 96, so to undo this change you need 860% instead.
