To find the percentage difference between two numbers, we first need to calculate the absolute difference between them. In this case, the absolute difference between 259 and 300 is 41.
Next, we need to find the average of the two numbers. The average of 259 and 300 is (259+300)/2 = 279.5.
Now, we can calculate the percentage difference by dividing the absolute difference by the average and multiplying by 100. So, the percentage difference between 259 and 300 is (41/279.5) x 100 = 14.68%.
This means that the second number, 300, is 14.68% greater than the first number, 259.
