How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |25 − 63| = 38
  2. Average of the values: (25 + 63) ÷ 2 = 44
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 38 ÷ 44 × 100 = 86.3636%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.863636 × 44 = 38, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(25-63)/((25+63)/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

63 is 38 more than 25. Measured against their average, 44, that gap is 86.3636%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $25 and another $63 for the same item, the prices differ by 86.3636%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 38 by 25 gives 152%, and dividing it by 63 gives 60.3175%. The average, 44, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
