How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |26 − 70| = 44
  2. Average of the values: (26 + 70) ÷ 2 = 48
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 44 ÷ 48 × 100 = 91.6667%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.916667 × 48 = 44, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(26-70)/((26+70)/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

70 is 44 more than 26. Measured against their average, 48, that gap is 91.6667%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $26 and another $70 for the same item, the prices differ by 91.6667%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 44 by 26 gives 169.2308%, and dividing it by 70 gives 62.8571%. The average, 48, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
