How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |49 − 62| = 13
  2. Average of the values: (49 + 62) ÷ 2 = 55.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 13 ÷ 55.5 × 100 = 23.4234%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.234234 × 55.5 = 13, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(49-62)/((49+62)/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

62 is 13 more than 49. Measured against their average, 55.5, that gap is 23.4234%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $49 and another $62 for the same item, the prices differ by 23.4234%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 13 by 49 gives 26.5306%, and dividing it by 62 gives 20.9677%. The average, 55.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
