How Do you use your results to find the percentage difference, and what is the formula.
Thank you in advance

Percentage difference is a measure of how much two values differ from each other, expressed as a percentage. It is often used to compare two quantities or values, such as in scientific experiments or financial data.
To calculate percentage difference, you first subtract the smaller value from the larger value. Then, divide that difference by the average of the two values. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage difference.
Percentage difference is important in scientific research because it allows us to quantify the magnitude of the difference between two values. This can help researchers determine the significance of their findings and make comparisons between different data sets.
Yes, percentage difference can be negative. This occurs when the smaller value is subtracted from the larger value, resulting in a negative difference. Negative percentage difference indicates that the two values are in opposite directions.
Percentage difference should be used with caution as it does not take into account the absolute values of the two quantities being compared. It is also not suitable for comparing data sets with significantly different magnitudes. Additionally, percentage difference may not accurately reflect the true difference between two values if the values are close to zero.
