How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |54 − 65| = 11
  2. Average of the values: (54 + 65) ÷ 2 = 59.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 11 ÷ 59.5 × 100 = 18.4874%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.184874 × 59.5 = 11, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(54-65)/((54+65)/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

65 is 11 more than 54. Measured against their average, 59.5, that gap is 18.4874%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $54 and another $65 for the same item, the prices differ by 18.4874%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 11 by 54 gives 20.3704%, and dividing it by 65 gives 16.9231%. The average, 59.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
