How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |56 − 93| = 37
  2. Average of the values: (56 + 93) ÷ 2 = 74.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 37 ÷ 74.5 × 100 = 49.6644%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.496644 × 74.5 = 37, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(56-93)/((56+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 37 more than 56. Measured against their average, 74.5, that gap is 49.6644%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $56 and another $93 for the same item, the prices differ by 49.6644%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 37 by 56 gives 66.0714%, and dividing it by 93 gives 39.7849%. The average, 74.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
