How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |61 − 77| = 16
  2. Average of the values: (61 + 77) ÷ 2 = 69
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 16 ÷ 69 × 100 = 23.1884%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.231884 × 69 = 16, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(61-77)/((61+77)/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

77 is 16 more than 61. Measured against their average, 69, that gap is 23.1884%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $61 and another $77 for the same item, the prices differ by 23.1884%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 16 by 61 gives 26.2295%, and dividing it by 77 gives 20.7792%. The average, 69, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
