How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |14 − 49| = 35
  2. Average of the values: (14 + 49) ÷ 2 = 31.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 35 ÷ 31.5 × 100 = 111.1111%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.111111 × 31.5 = 35, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(14-49)/((14+49)/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

49 is 35 more than 14. Measured against their average, 31.5, that gap is 111.1111%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $14 and another $49 for the same item, the prices differ by 111.1111%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 35 by 14 gives 250%, and dividing it by 49 gives 71.4286%. The average, 31.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
