You can use difference of with a number or percentage, when you are talking about the amount by which two things are different:

Difference of is also used in the phrase difference of opinion which means ‘a disagreement':

Don't use the expression make a difference to mean ‘recognize that two things are different'. Use make/draw a distinction:

The expression make a difference (to) means to have an effect on someone or something, often a positive effect:
