It is actually easy, because each whole number equals 100%, so if you say 1/8 than you times both the numerator and the denominator to 100% and divide, you would have you answer.

Multiply by 100.
"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.
Convert the margin percentage increase (decrease) to the absolute increase (decrease). Add (subtract) to (from) the selling price.
I assume you want to take the absolute value of a set of data, find the average and convert it to a percentage. For example, my data set is -1 -5 -3. The absolute values sum to 9, the average is 3 and presented as a percentage, it is 300%. I would put in my excel spreadsheet the numbers in a single column (let's call it a2, a3, a4) then in b2 cell, enter +abs(a2) and copy down. At the bottom of the absolute values, enter +average(b2:b4) or whatever your range is. You can use format cell option under edit to convert to %. If you use Excel 2007, you will find % icon under the home tab, on the number pane of the ribbon.
The numbers are equivalent. For example, 5 grams per 100 grams = 5%.
