How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |10 − 54| = 44
  2. Average of the values: (10 + 54) ÷ 2 = 32
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 44 ÷ 32 × 100 = 137.5%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.375 × 32 = 44, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(10-54)/((10+54)/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

54 is 44 more than 10. Measured against their average, 32, that gap is 137.5%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $10 and another $54 for the same item, the prices differ by 137.5%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 44 by 10 gives 440%, and dividing it by 54 gives 81.4815%. The average, 32, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
