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 286 and 60 is 226.

Next, we need to find what percentage of the larger number (in this case, 286) the absolute difference represents. To do this, we divide the absolute difference by the larger number and multiply by 100.

So, the percentage difference between 286 and 60 is:

Absolute difference = 286 - 60 = 226

Percentage difference = (Absolute difference / Larger number) x 100
= (226 / 286) x 100
= 78.97%

Therefore, the percentage difference between 286 and 60 is 78.97%. This means that 78.97% of 286 is the absolute difference between 286 and 60.
