How to work it out

  1. Difference: 19 − 62 = -43
  2. Divide by the starting value: -43 ÷ 62 = -0.693548
  3. Multiply by 100: -69.3548%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 62 × (1 − 0.693548) = 62 × 0.306452 = 19.

In a spreadsheet: =(19-62)/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 30.6452% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 30.6452, so 69.3548 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $62 to $19 is a 69.3548% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 69.3548% fall followed by a 69.3548% rise does not bring you back to 62: it gives 32.1774. The second percentage is taken of 19, not of 62, so to undo this change you need 226.3158% instead.
