How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |61 − 67| = 6
  2. Average of the values: (61 + 67) ÷ 2 = 64
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 6 ÷ 64 × 100 = 9.375%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.09375 × 64 = 6, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(61-67)/((61+67)/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

67 is 6 more than 61. Measured against their average, 64, that gap is 9.375%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $61 and another $67 for the same item, the prices differ by 9.375%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 6 by 61 gives 9.8361%, and dividing it by 67 gives 8.9552%. The average, 64, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
