How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |32 − 35| = 3
  2. Average of the values: (32 + 35) ÷ 2 = 33.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 3 ÷ 33.5 × 100 = 8.9552%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.089552 × 33.5 = 3, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(32-35)/((32+35)/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

35 is 3 more than 32. Measured against their average, 33.5, that gap is 8.9552%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $32 and another $35 for the same item, the prices differ by 8.9552%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 3 by 32 gives 9.375%, and dividing it by 35 gives 8.5714%. The average, 33.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
