How to work it out

  1. Difference: 13 − 62 = -49
  2. Divide by the starting value: -49 ÷ 62 = -0.790323
  3. Multiply by 100: -79.0323%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 − 0.790323) = 62 × 0.209677 = 13.

In a spreadsheet: =(13-62)/62*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 20.9677% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 20.9677, so 79.0323 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $62 to $13 is a 79.0323% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 79.0323% fall followed by a 79.0323% rise does not bring you back to 62: it gives 23.2742. The second percentage is taken of 13, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 376.9231% instead.
