How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |34 − 57| = 23
  2. Average of the values: (34 + 57) ÷ 2 = 45.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 23 ÷ 45.5 × 100 = 50.5495%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.505495 × 45.5 = 23, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(34-57)/((34+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 23 more than 34. Measured against their average, 45.5, that gap is 50.5495%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $34 and another $57 for the same item, the prices differ by 50.5495%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 23 by 34 gives 67.6471%, and dividing it by 57 gives 40.3509%. The average, 45.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
