If a variable goes from X to Y, change = Y-X.
The absolute change = Y-X or X-Y, whichever is positive.
The percentage change = 100*Change/X = 100*(Y-X)/X or 100*(Y/X - 1)

what is the percentage change from 92 to 86.5
You cannot. The starting value must be positive for a percentage change to make sense.
(12/5 x 100) - 100 = 140 percent. The percentage change between 5 and 12 is a 140 percent increase.
By two amounts of change I assume mean absolute amounts. Assume the following: Quantity 1 begins at 6 and changes to 3. The absolute value of the change is 3 and the percent change is 50% Quantity 2 begins at 30 and changes to 27. The absolute value of the change is 3 and the percent change is 10%
relative change is a proprotional change where absolute change is a complete change.........
Intercensal percentage change represents the absolute change in population between census periods. This total is then divided by the totals from the last census. This total is then multiplied by 100 to get the percentage. This allows population growth to be accurately measured.

It istwo numbers are a percentage relationship between them orone number and a percentage change.
absolute change = 6 - 98 = -92 relative change = (-92)/98 = -0.938776 percentage change = 100*(-92)/98 = 100*(-0.938776) = -93.8776%
