How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |43 − 65| = 22
  2. Average of the values: (43 + 65) ÷ 2 = 54
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 22 ÷ 54 × 100 = 40.7407%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.407407 × 54 = 22, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(43-65)/((43+65)/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

65 is 22 more than 43. Measured against their average, 54, that gap is 40.7407%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $43 and another $65 for the same item, the prices differ by 40.7407%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 22 by 43 gives 51.1628%, and dividing it by 65 gives 33.8462%. The average, 54, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
