How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |27 − 94| = 67
  2. Average of the values: (27 + 94) ÷ 2 = 60.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 67 ÷ 60.5 × 100 = 110.7438%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.107438 × 60.5 = 67, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(27-94)/((27+94)/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

94 is 67 more than 27. Measured against their average, 60.5, that gap is 110.7438%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 67 by 27 gives 248.1481%, and dividing it by 94 gives 71.2766%. The average, 60.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
