How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |35 − 51| = 16
  2. Average of the values: (35 + 51) ÷ 2 = 43
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 16 ÷ 43 × 100 = 37.2093%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.372093 × 43 = 16, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(35-51)/((35+51)/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

51 is 16 more than 35. Measured against their average, 43, that gap is 37.2093%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $35 and another $51 for the same item, the prices differ by 37.2093%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 16 by 35 gives 45.7143%, and dividing it by 51 gives 31.3725%. The average, 43, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
