How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |31 − 92| = 61
  2. Average of the values: (31 + 92) ÷ 2 = 61.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 61 ÷ 61.5 × 100 = 99.187%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.99187 × 61.5 = 61, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(31-92)/((31+92)/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

92 is 61 more than 31. Measured against their average, 61.5, that gap is 99.187%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $31 and another $92 for the same item, the prices differ by 99.187%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 61 by 31 gives 196.7742%, and dividing it by 92 gives 66.3043%. The average, 61.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
