How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |18 − 94| = 76
  2. Average of the values: (18 + 94) ÷ 2 = 56
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 76 ÷ 56 × 100 = 135.7143%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.357143 × 56 = 76, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(18-94)/((18+94)/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

94 is 76 more than 18. Measured against their average, 56, that gap is 135.7143%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $18 and another $94 for the same item, the prices differ by 135.7143%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 76 by 18 gives 422.2222%, and dividing it by 94 gives 80.8511%. The average, 56, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
