How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |13 − 54| = 41
  2. Average of the values: (13 + 54) ÷ 2 = 33.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 41 ÷ 33.5 × 100 = 122.3881%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.223881 × 33.5 = 41, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(13-54)/((13+54)/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

54 is 41 more than 13. Measured against their average, 33.5, that gap is 122.3881%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $13 and another $54 for the same item, the prices differ by 122.3881%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 41 by 13 gives 315.3846%, and dividing it by 54 gives 75.9259%. The average, 33.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
