How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |16 − 77| = 61
  2. Average of the values: (16 + 77) ÷ 2 = 46.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 61 ÷ 46.5 × 100 = 131.1828%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.311828 × 46.5 = 61, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(16-77)/((16+77)/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

77 is 61 more than 16. Measured against their average, 46.5, that gap is 131.1828%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $16 and another $77 for the same item, the prices differ by 131.1828%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 61 by 16 gives 381.25%, and dividing it by 77 gives 79.2208%. The average, 46.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
