How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |10 − 57| = 47
  2. Average of the values: (10 + 57) ÷ 2 = 33.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 47 ÷ 33.5 × 100 = 140.2985%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.402985 × 33.5 = 47, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(10-57)/((10+57)/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

57 is 47 more than 10. Measured against their average, 33.5, that gap is 140.2985%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $10 and another $57 for the same item, the prices differ by 140.2985%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 47 by 10 gives 470%, and dividing it by 57 gives 82.4561%. The average, 33.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
