How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |77 − 100| = 23
  2. Average of the values: (77 + 100) ÷ 2 = 88.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 23 ÷ 88.5 × 100 = 25.9887%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.259887 × 88.5 = 23, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(77-100)/((77+100)/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

100 is 23 more than 77. Measured against their average, 88.5, that gap is 25.9887%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $77 and another $100 for the same item, the prices differ by 25.9887%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 23 by 77 gives 29.8701%, and dividing it by 100 gives 23%. The average, 88.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
