How to work it out

  1. Difference: 19 − 60 = -41
  2. Divide by the starting value: -41 ÷ 60 = -0.683333
  3. Multiply by 100: -68.3333%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 60 × (1 − 0.683333) = 60 × 0.316667 = 19.

In a spreadsheet: =(19-60)/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 31.6667% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 31.6667, so 68.3333 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $60 to $19 is a 68.3333% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 68.3333% fall followed by a 68.3333% rise does not bring you back to 60: it gives 31.9833. The second percentage is taken of 19, not of 60, so to undo this change you need 215.7895% instead.
