How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |28 − 75| = 47
  2. Average of the values: (28 + 75) ÷ 2 = 51.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 47 ÷ 51.5 × 100 = 91.2621%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.912621 × 51.5 = 47, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(28-75)/((28+75)/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

75 is 47 more than 28. Measured against their average, 51.5, that gap is 91.2621%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $28 and another $75 for the same item, the prices differ by 91.2621%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 47 by 28 gives 167.8571%, and dividing it by 75 gives 62.6667%. The average, 51.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
