How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |37 − 60| = 23
  2. Average of the values: (37 + 60) ÷ 2 = 48.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 23 ÷ 48.5 × 100 = 47.4227%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.474227 × 48.5 = 23, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(37-60)/((37+60)/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

60 is 23 more than 37. Measured against their average, 48.5, that gap is 47.4227%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $37 and another $60 for the same item, the prices differ by 47.4227%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 23 by 37 gives 62.1622%, and dividing it by 60 gives 38.3333%. The average, 48.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
