How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |16 − 49| = 33
  2. Average of the values: (16 + 49) ÷ 2 = 32.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 33 ÷ 32.5 × 100 = 101.5385%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.015385 × 32.5 = 33, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(16-49)/((16+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 33 more than 16. Measured against their average, 32.5, that gap is 101.5385%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $16 and another $49 for the same item, the prices differ by 101.5385%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 33 by 16 gives 206.25%, and dividing it by 49 gives 67.3469%. The average, 32.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
