How to work it out

  1. Difference: 24 − 99 = -75
  2. Divide by the starting value: -75 ÷ 99 = -0.757576
  3. Multiply by 100: -75.7576%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 99 × (1 − 0.757576) = 99 × 0.242424 = 24.

In a spreadsheet: =(24-99)/99*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 24.2424% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 24.2424, so 75.7576 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $99 to $24 is a 75.7576% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 75.7576% fall followed by a 75.7576% rise does not bring you back to 99: it gives 42.1818. The second percentage is taken of 24, not of 99, so to undo this change you need 312.5% instead.
