How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |14 − 47| = 33
  2. Average of the values: (14 + 47) ÷ 2 = 30.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 33 ÷ 30.5 × 100 = 108.1967%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.081967 × 30.5 = 33, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(14-47)/((14+47)/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

47 is 33 more than 14. Measured against their average, 30.5, that gap is 108.1967%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $14 and another $47 for the same item, the prices differ by 108.1967%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 33 by 14 gives 235.7143%, and dividing it by 47 gives 70.2128%. The average, 30.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
