How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |19 − 54| = 35
  2. Average of the values: (19 + 54) ÷ 2 = 36.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 35 ÷ 36.5 × 100 = 95.8904%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.958904 × 36.5 = 35, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(19-54)/((19+54)/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

54 is 35 more than 19. Measured against their average, 36.5, that gap is 95.8904%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $19 and another $54 for the same item, the prices differ by 95.8904%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 35 by 19 gives 184.2105%, and dividing it by 54 gives 64.8148%. The average, 36.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
