How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |26 − 35| = 9
  2. Average of the values: (26 + 35) ÷ 2 = 30.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 9 ÷ 30.5 × 100 = 29.5082%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.295082 × 30.5 = 9, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(26-35)/((26+35)/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

35 is 9 more than 26. Measured against their average, 30.5, that gap is 29.5082%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $26 and another $35 for the same item, the prices differ by 29.5082%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 9 by 26 gives 34.6154%, and dividing it by 35 gives 25.7143%. The average, 30.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
