How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |38 − 75| = 37
  2. Average of the values: (38 + 75) ÷ 2 = 56.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 37 ÷ 56.5 × 100 = 65.4867%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.654867 × 56.5 = 37, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(38-75)/((38+75)/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

75 is 37 more than 38. Measured against their average, 56.5, that gap is 65.4867%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $38 and another $75 for the same item, the prices differ by 65.4867%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 37 by 38 gives 97.3684%, and dividing it by 75 gives 49.3333%. The average, 56.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
