Calculating the uplift between two RTPs

Friends,
I am wondering if it is possible to calculate the % difference in potential or hypothetical returns between playing a slot with RTP 86% versus RTP 96%?
Let's suppose we play $100k through both slots @ $10 per spin. And let's assume that $100k represents enough of a stake to achieve approximately accurate RTP rates.
The easy math is the 96% game returns $10,000 more than the 86% game, which as a function of the original stake ($100k) is 10%. Is the calculation that simple?
Or should I be using (0.96 - 0.86) / 0.86 = 11.5% as the uplift?
Sorry for the dumb question! I'm looking for a way to quantify the value of moving between slots having different RTPs (and I'm not that smart!)
TIA
