You might be talking about the Simpson’s Paradox – the average of some averages is not the average -> https://lemire.me/blog/2005/10/28/average-of-averages-is-not-the-average/

Aside from the answers that were already given, you’re probably looking for the term *percentages* rather than *percentiles*.
They’re very different things — percentiles are about ranking values on a cumulative scale of 100. For example, a student taking a math quiz can be said to have a 98th-percentile score when their score is higher than 98% of other scores they’re being compared with. The 50th percentile is also/better known as the median.
Hope this helps get you less confusing search results.
Average = SUM / COUNT.
That is, you add the items you want to average, then divide by the total number of items.
The average of 100 and 67 is 83.5, because that’s 167/2.

Percent change is DIFFERENCE / ORIGINAL.
When they calculated the percent growth, they did 250-140 = 110, that’s the “difference” for the numerator.
The “original” number is 140, because 2021 is before 2022.
So we do 110/140 = 0.786
