How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |14 − 48| = 34
  2. Average of the values: (14 + 48) ÷ 2 = 31
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 34 ÷ 31 × 100 = 109.6774%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.096774 × 31 = 34, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(14-48)/((14+48)/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

48 is 34 more than 14. Measured against their average, 31, that gap is 109.6774%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $14 and another $48 for the same item, the prices differ by 109.6774%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 34 by 14 gives 242.8571%, and dividing it by 48 gives 70.8333%. The average, 31, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
