How to work it out

  1. Difference: 11 − 60 = -49
  2. Divide by the starting value: -49 ÷ 60 = -0.816667
  3. Multiply by 100: -81.6667%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 60 × (1 − 0.816667) = 60 × 0.183333 = 11.

In a spreadsheet: =(11-60)/60*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 18.3333% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 18.3333, so 81.6667 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $60 to $11 is a 81.6667% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 81.6667% fall followed by a 81.6667% rise does not bring you back to 60: it gives 19.9833. The second percentage is taken of 11, not of 60, so to undo this change you need 445.4545% instead.
