How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |57 − 95| = 38
  2. Average of the values: (57 + 95) ÷ 2 = 76
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 38 ÷ 76 × 100 = 50%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.5 × 76 = 38, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(57-95)/((57+95)/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

95 is 38 more than 57. Measured against their average, 76, that gap is 50%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $57 and another $95 for the same item, the prices differ by 50%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 38 by 57 gives 66.6667%, and dividing it by 95 gives 40%. The average, 76, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
