How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |24 − 76| = 52
  2. Average of the values: (24 + 76) ÷ 2 = 50
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 52 ÷ 50 × 100 = 104%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.04 × 50 = 52, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(24-76)/((24+76)/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

76 is 52 more than 24. Measured against their average, 50, that gap is 104%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $24 and another $76 for the same item, the prices differ by 104%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 52 by 24 gives 216.6667%, and dividing it by 76 gives 68.4211%. The average, 50, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
