How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |9 − 62| = 53
  2. Average of the values: (9 + 62) ÷ 2 = 35.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 53 ÷ 35.5 × 100 = 149.2958%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 1.492958 × 35.5 = 53, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(9-62)/((9+62)/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

62 is 53 more than 9. Measured against their average, 35.5, that gap is 149.2958%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $9 and another $62 for the same item, the prices differ by 149.2958%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 53 by 9 gives 588.8889%, and dividing it by 62 gives 85.4839%. The average, 35.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
