How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |47 − 94| = 47
  2. Average of the values: (47 + 94) ÷ 2 = 70.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 47 ÷ 70.5 × 100 = 66.6667%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.666667 × 70.5 = 47, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(47-94)/((47+94)/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

94 is 47 more than 47. Measured against their average, 70.5, that gap is 66.6667%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $47 and another $94 for the same item, the prices differ by 66.6667%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 47 by 47 gives 100%, and dividing it by 94 gives 50%. The average, 70.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
