How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |25 − 74| = 49
  2. Average of the values: (25 + 74) ÷ 2 = 49.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 49 ÷ 49.5 × 100 = 98.9899%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.989899 × 49.5 = 49, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(25-74)/((25+74)/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

74 is 49 more than 25. Measured against their average, 49.5, that gap is 98.9899%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $25 and another $74 for the same item, the prices differ by 98.9899%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 49 by 25 gives 196%, and dividing it by 74 gives 66.2162%. The average, 49.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
