How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |26 − 93| = 67
  2. Average of the values: (26 + 93) ÷ 2 = 59.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 67 ÷ 59.5 × 100 = 112.605%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.12605 × 59.5 = 67, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(26-93)/((26+93)/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

93 is 67 more than 26. Measured against their average, 59.5, that gap is 112.605%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $26 and another $93 for the same item, the prices differ by 112.605%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 67 by 26 gives 257.6923%, and dividing it by 93 gives 72.043%. The average, 59.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
