The formula to calculate the percentage change is given as


\text{Percentage Change = }\frac{Original\text{ Amount}-\text{Final Amount}}{Original\text{ Amount}}*100

The question gives us:

Original amount: 25

End amount: 18

Substituting, we have


\begin{gathered} C=(25-18)/(25)*100 \\ =(7)/(25)*100 \\ =28 \end{gathered}

The percentage change is a 28% decrease.
