Percentage difference between two numbers X and Y is: Y/X - 1

There are 3 ways to go about this, all of which are valid, but not all of which your maths teacher may accept as valid, so hehe... Anyways, they are as follows: * H=higher number, L= lower number
I will do examples for the difference between 2 and 4
1) most common - H / L - 1 4 / 2 - 1 = 1 = 100%
2) less common - 1 - (L / H) 1 - (2/4) = 0.5 = 50%
3) even less common, but preferred method while calculating elasticity models in economics
(H - L) / [0.5(L + H)] (4 - 2) / [0.5(2 + 4)] = 0.67 = 67%
