How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |11 − 50| = 39
  2. Average of the values: (11 + 50) ÷ 2 = 30.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 39 ÷ 30.5 × 100 = 127.8689%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.278689 × 30.5 = 39, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(11-50)/((11+50)/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

50 is 39 more than 11. Measured against their average, 30.5, that gap is 127.8689%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $11 and another $50 for the same item, the prices differ by 127.8689%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 39 by 11 gives 354.5455%, and dividing it by 50 gives 78%. The average, 30.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
