How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |13 − 36| = 23
  2. Average of the values: (13 + 36) ÷ 2 = 24.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 23 ÷ 24.5 × 100 = 93.8776%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.938776 × 24.5 = 23, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(13-36)/((13+36)/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

36 is 23 more than 13. Measured against their average, 24.5, that gap is 93.8776%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $13 and another $36 for the same item, the prices differ by 93.8776%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 23 by 13 gives 176.9231%, and dividing it by 36 gives 63.8889%. The average, 24.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
