If 1% was in cell A1, you could put this formula into B1 to have the
desired effect:
=-(A1 * 5)

or a little simpler:
= A1 * -5

If you are using a beginning number and an ending number, rather than
having a shown percentage, this is a formula to use, where
A1=beginning number, and B1=ending number.

=-(B1-A1)*5+A1
