Answer:

-75%

Explanation:

Given:

  • Difference = -9
  • Original = 12

Substitute the given values into the percent change formula:


\begin{aligned}\sf Percent\:change & =\frac{\textsf{Difference between values}}{\textsf{Original value}} * 100\\\\& = (-9)/(12) * 100\\\\& = -(3)/(4) * 100\\\\& = -(300)/(4)\\\\& = -75\%\end{aligned}

Therefore, the percent change is -75%.

This is a 75% decrease.
