To find x as a percentage of y all you do is multiply x by 100 and divide the answer by y.
eg 12 as a percentage of 240?
(12 x 100)/240 = 1200/240 = 5 so 12 is 5% of 240.

"Difference" is a binary operation. It is defined in the context of two numbers - you do not have a difference of three numbers. And that applies in absolute terms or percentage terms.

To calculate the percentage difference between two numbers, you first find the difference between the two numbers, which in this case is 25437 - 21610 = 3837. Then, you divide this difference by the original number (21610) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage difference: (3837 / 21610) * 100 ≈ 17.75%. Therefore, the percentage difference between 21610 and 25437 is approximately 17.75%.
