How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |29 − 54| = 25
  2. Average of the values: (29 + 54) ÷ 2 = 41.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 25 ÷ 41.5 × 100 = 60.241%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.60241 × 41.5 = 25, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(29-54)/((29+54)/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

54 is 25 more than 29. Measured against their average, 41.5, that gap is 60.241%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $29 and another $54 for the same item, the prices differ by 60.241%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 25 by 29 gives 86.2069%, and dividing it by 54 gives 46.2963%. The average, 41.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
