How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |1 − 60| = 59
  2. Average of the values: (1 + 60) ÷ 2 = 30.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 59 ÷ 30.5 × 100 = 193.4426%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.934426 × 30.5 = 59, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(1-60)/((1+60)/2)*100. Dividing by one of the values instead of their average turns it into a percentage change, which depends on which value you start from.

What the result means

60 is 59 more than 1. Measured against their average, 30.5, that gap is 193.4426%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $1 and another $60 for the same item, the prices differ by 193.4426%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 59 by 1 gives 5,900%, and dividing it by 60 gives 98.3333%. The average, 30.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
