How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |44 − 49| = 5
  2. Average of the values: (44 + 49) ÷ 2 = 46.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 5 ÷ 46.5 × 100 = 10.7527%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.107527 × 46.5 = 5, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(44-49)/((44+49)/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

49 is 5 more than 44. Measured against their average, 46.5, that gap is 10.7527%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $44 and another $49 for the same item, the prices differ by 10.7527%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 5 by 44 gives 11.3636%, and dividing it by 49 gives 10.2041%. The average, 46.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
