Where | | represents the absolute value, ensuring a positive result.
Example 1:
Value₁ = 80, Value₂ = 100
Difference = |80-100| = 20
Average = (80+100)/2 = 90
% Difference = (20/90) × 100 ≈ 22.22%
Example 2:
Value₁ = 50, Value₂ = 75
Difference = |50-75| = 25
Average = (50+75)/2 = 62.5
% Difference = (25/62.5) × 100 = 40%
