How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |9 − 33| = 24
  2. Average of the values: (9 + 33) ÷ 2 = 21
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 24 ÷ 21 × 100 = 114.2857%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.142857 × 21 = 24, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(9-33)/((9+33)/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

33 is 24 more than 9. Measured against their average, 21, that gap is 114.2857%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $9 and another $33 for the same item, the prices differ by 114.2857%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 24 by 9 gives 266.6667%, and dividing it by 33 gives 72.7273%. The average, 21, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
