How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |10 − 96| = 86
  2. Average of the values: (10 + 96) ÷ 2 = 53
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 86 ÷ 53 × 100 = 162.2642%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.622642 × 53 = 86, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(10-96)/((10+96)/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

96 is 86 more than 10. Measured against their average, 53, that gap is 162.2642%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $10 and another $96 for the same item, the prices differ by 162.2642%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 86 by 10 gives 860%, and dividing it by 96 gives 89.5833%. The average, 53, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
