How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |6 − 94| = 88
  2. Average of the values: (6 + 94) ÷ 2 = 50
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 88 ÷ 50 × 100 = 176%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.76 × 50 = 88, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(6-94)/((6+94)/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

94 is 88 more than 6. Measured against their average, 50, that gap is 176%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $6 and another $94 for the same item, the prices differ by 176%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 88 by 6 gives 1,466.6667%, and dividing it by 94 gives 93.617%. The average, 50, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
