How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |16 − 100| = 84
  2. Average of the values: (16 + 100) ÷ 2 = 58
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 84 ÷ 58 × 100 = 144.8276%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.448276 × 58 = 84, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(16-100)/((16+100)/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

100 is 84 more than 16. Measured against their average, 58, that gap is 144.8276%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $16 and another $100 for the same item, the prices differ by 144.8276%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 84 by 16 gives 525%, and dividing it by 100 gives 84%. The average, 58, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
