How to work it out

  1. Difference: 19 − 99 = -80
  2. Divide by the starting value: -80 ÷ 99 = -0.808081
  3. Multiply by 100: -80.8081%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 99 × (1 − 0.808081) = 99 × 0.191919 = 19.

In a spreadsheet: =(19-99)/99*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 19.1919% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 19.1919, so 80.8081 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $99 to $19 is a 80.8081% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 80.8081% fall followed by a 80.8081% rise does not bring you back to 99: it gives 34.3535. The second percentage is taken of 19, not of 99, so to undo this change you need 421.0526% instead.
