To find the percentage difference between two numbers, we first need to find the absolute difference between them. In this case, the absolute difference between 212 and 32 is 180 (212 - 32 = 180).
Next, we need to find the average of the two numbers. The average of 212 and 32 is (212 + 32) / 2 = 122.
Now, we can calculate the percentage difference by dividing the absolute difference by the average and multiplying by 100. So, the percentage difference between 212 and 32 is (180 / 122) x 100 = 147.54%.
This means that the second number (32) is 147.54% less than the first number (212). Alternatively, we can say that the first number (212) is 247.54% greater than the second number (32).
