How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |29 − 62| = 33
  2. Average of the values: (29 + 62) ÷ 2 = 45.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 33 ÷ 45.5 × 100 = 72.5275%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.725275 × 45.5 = 33, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(29-62)/((29+62)/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

62 is 33 more than 29. Measured against their average, 45.5, that gap is 72.5275%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $29 and another $62 for the same item, the prices differ by 72.5275%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 33 by 29 gives 113.7931%, and dividing it by 62 gives 53.2258%. The average, 45.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
