How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |49 − 58| = 9
  2. Average of the values: (49 + 58) ÷ 2 = 53.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 9 ÷ 53.5 × 100 = 16.8224%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.168224 × 53.5 = 9, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(49-58)/((49+58)/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

58 is 9 more than 49. Measured against their average, 53.5, that gap is 16.8224%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $49 and another $58 for the same item, the prices differ by 16.8224%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 9 by 49 gives 18.3673%, and dividing it by 58 gives 15.5172%. The average, 53.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
