How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |58 − 96| = 38
  2. Average of the values: (58 + 96) ÷ 2 = 77
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 38 ÷ 77 × 100 = 49.3506%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.493506 × 77 = 38, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(58-96)/((58+96)/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

96 is 38 more than 58. Measured against their average, 77, that gap is 49.3506%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $58 and another $96 for the same item, the prices differ by 49.3506%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 38 by 58 gives 65.5172%, and dividing it by 96 gives 39.5833%. The average, 77, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
