How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |43 − 83| = 40
  2. Average of the values: (43 + 83) ÷ 2 = 63
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 40 ÷ 63 × 100 = 63.4921%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.634921 × 63 = 40, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(43-83)/((43+83)/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

83 is 40 more than 43. Measured against their average, 63, that gap is 63.4921%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $43 and another $83 for the same item, the prices differ by 63.4921%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 40 by 43 gives 93.0233%, and dividing it by 83 gives 48.1928%. The average, 63, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
