How to work it out
- Gap between the values: |12 − 93| = 81
- Average of the values: (12 + 93) ÷ 2 = 52.5
- Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 81 ÷ 52.5 × 100 = 154.2857%
- Check: Work backwards: 1.542857 × 52.5 = 81, the gap between the values.
In a spreadsheet: =ABS(12-93)/((12+93)/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
93 is 81 more than 12. Measured against their average, 52.5, that gap is 154.2857%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.
Prices: if one shop charges $12 and another $93 for the same item, the prices differ by 154.2857%.
Why the average is the base
Dividing the gap of 81 by 12 gives 675%, and dividing it by 93 gives 87.0968%. The average, 52.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
