How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |10 − 60| = 50
  2. Average of the values: (10 + 60) ÷ 2 = 35
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 50 ÷ 35 × 100 = 142.8571%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.428571 × 35 = 50, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(10-60)/((10+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 50 more than 10. Measured against their average, 35, that gap is 142.8571%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $10 and another $60 for the same item, the prices differ by 142.8571%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 50 by 10 gives 500%, and dividing it by 60 gives 83.3333%. The average, 35, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
