How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |43 − 61| = 18
  2. Average of the values: (43 + 61) ÷ 2 = 52
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 18 ÷ 52 × 100 = 34.6154%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.346154 × 52 = 18, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(43-61)/((43+61)/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

61 is 18 more than 43. Measured against their average, 52, that gap is 34.6154%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $43 and another $61 for the same item, the prices differ by 34.6154%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 18 by 43 gives 41.8605%, and dividing it by 61 gives 29.5082%. The average, 52, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
