How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |19 − 50| = 31
  2. Average of the values: (19 + 50) ÷ 2 = 34.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 31 ÷ 34.5 × 100 = 89.8551%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.898551 × 34.5 = 31, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(19-50)/((19+50)/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

50 is 31 more than 19. Measured against their average, 34.5, that gap is 89.8551%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $19 and another $50 for the same item, the prices differ by 89.8551%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 31 by 19 gives 163.1579%, and dividing it by 50 gives 62%. The average, 34.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
