How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |13 − 98| = 85
  2. Average of the values: (13 + 98) ÷ 2 = 55.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 85 ÷ 55.5 × 100 = 153.1532%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.531532 × 55.5 = 85, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(13-98)/((13+98)/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

98 is 85 more than 13. Measured against their average, 55.5, that gap is 153.1532%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $13 and another $98 for the same item, the prices differ by 153.1532%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 85 by 13 gives 653.8462%, and dividing it by 98 gives 86.7347%. The average, 55.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
