How to work it out

  1. Difference: 24 − 97 = -73
  2. Divide by the starting value: -73 ÷ 97 = -0.752577
  3. Multiply by 100: -75.2577%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 97 × (1 − 0.752577) = 97 × 0.247423 = 24.

In a spreadsheet: =(24-97)/97*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 24.7423% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 24.7423, so 75.2577 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $97 to $24 is a 75.2577% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 75.2577% fall followed by a 75.2577% rise does not bring you back to 97: it gives 42.0619. The second percentage is taken of 24, not of 97, so to undo this change you need 304.1667% instead.
