How to work it out

  1. Difference: 19 − 66 = -47
  2. Divide by the starting value: -47 ÷ 66 = -0.712121
  3. Multiply by 100: -71.2121%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 66 × (1 − 0.712121) = 66 × 0.287879 = 19.

In a spreadsheet: =(19-66)/66*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 28.7879% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 28.7879, so 71.2121 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $66 to $19 is a 71.2121% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 71.2121% fall followed by a 71.2121% rise does not bring you back to 66: it gives 32.5303. The second percentage is taken of 19, not of 66, so to undo this change you need 247.3684% instead.
