How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |31 − 94| = 63
  2. Average of the values: (31 + 94) ÷ 2 = 62.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 63 ÷ 62.5 × 100 = 100.8%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.008 × 62.5 = 63, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(31-94)/((31+94)/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

94 is 63 more than 31. Measured against their average, 62.5, that gap is 100.8%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $31 and another $94 for the same item, the prices differ by 100.8%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 63 by 31 gives 203.2258%, and dividing it by 94 gives 67.0213%. The average, 62.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
