How to work it out

  1. Difference: 60 − 74 = -14
  2. Divide by the starting value: -14 ÷ 74 = -0.189189
  3. Multiply by 100: -18.9189%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 74 × (1 − 0.189189) = 74 × 0.810811 = 60.

In a spreadsheet: =(60-74)/74*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 81.0811% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 81.0811, so 18.9189 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $74 to $60 is a 18.9189% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 18.9189% fall followed by a 18.9189% rise does not bring you back to 74: it gives 71.3514. The second percentage is taken of 60, not of 74, so to undo this change you need 23.3333% instead.
