How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |45 − 82| = 37
  2. Average of the values: (45 + 82) ÷ 2 = 63.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 37 ÷ 63.5 × 100 = 58.2677%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.582677 × 63.5 = 37, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(45-82)/((45+82)/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

82 is 37 more than 45. Measured against their average, 63.5, that gap is 58.2677%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $45 and another $82 for the same item, the prices differ by 58.2677%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 37 by 45 gives 82.2222%, and dividing it by 82 gives 45.122%. The average, 63.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
