How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |11 − 43| = 32
  2. Average of the values: (11 + 43) ÷ 2 = 27
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 32 ÷ 27 × 100 = 118.5185%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.185185 × 27 = 32, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(11-43)/((11+43)/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

43 is 32 more than 11. Measured against their average, 27, that gap is 118.5185%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $11 and another $43 for the same item, the prices differ by 118.5185%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 32 by 11 gives 290.9091%, and dividing it by 43 gives 74.4186%. The average, 27, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
