How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |51 − 93| = 42
  2. Average of the values: (51 + 93) ÷ 2 = 72
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 42 ÷ 72 × 100 = 58.3333%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.583333 × 72 = 42, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(51-93)/((51+93)/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

93 is 42 more than 51. Measured against their average, 72, that gap is 58.3333%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $51 and another $93 for the same item, the prices differ by 58.3333%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 42 by 51 gives 82.3529%, and dividing it by 93 gives 45.1613%. The average, 72, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
