How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |30 − 57| = 27
  2. Average of the values: (30 + 57) ÷ 2 = 43.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 27 ÷ 43.5 × 100 = 62.069%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.62069 × 43.5 = 27, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(30-57)/((30+57)/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

57 is 27 more than 30. Measured against their average, 43.5, that gap is 62.069%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $30 and another $57 for the same item, the prices differ by 62.069%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 27 by 30 gives 90%, and dividing it by 57 gives 47.3684%. The average, 43.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
