How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |16 − 91| = 75
  2. Average of the values: (16 + 91) ÷ 2 = 53.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 75 ÷ 53.5 × 100 = 140.1869%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.401869 × 53.5 = 75, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(16-91)/((16+91)/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

91 is 75 more than 16. Measured against their average, 53.5, that gap is 140.1869%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $16 and another $91 for the same item, the prices differ by 140.1869%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 75 by 16 gives 468.75%, and dividing it by 91 gives 82.4176%. The average, 53.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
