How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |33 − 88| = 55
  2. Average of the values: (33 + 88) ÷ 2 = 60.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 55 ÷ 60.5 × 100 = 90.9091%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.909091 × 60.5 = 55, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(33-88)/((33+88)/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

88 is 55 more than 33. Measured against their average, 60.5, that gap is 90.9091%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $33 and another $88 for the same item, the prices differ by 90.9091%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 55 by 33 gives 166.6667%, and dividing it by 88 gives 62.5%. The average, 60.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
