How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |65 − 73| = 8
  2. Average of the values: (65 + 73) ÷ 2 = 69
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 8 ÷ 69 × 100 = 11.5942%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.115942 × 69 = 8, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(65-73)/((65+73)/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

73 is 8 more than 65. Measured against their average, 69, that gap is 11.5942%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $65 and another $73 for the same item, the prices differ by 11.5942%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 8 by 65 gives 12.3077%, and dividing it by 73 gives 10.9589%. The average, 69, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
