How to work it out

  1. Difference: 29 − 96 = -67
  2. Divide by the starting value: -67 ÷ 96 = -0.697917
  3. Multiply by 100: -69.7917%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 96 × (1 − 0.697917) = 96 × 0.302083 = 29.

In a spreadsheet: =(29-96)/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 30.2083% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 30.2083, so 69.7917 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $96 to $29 is a 69.7917% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 69.7917% fall followed by a 69.7917% rise does not bring you back to 96: it gives 49.2396. The second percentage is taken of 29, not of 96, so to undo this change you need 231.0345% instead.
