-33.33333333333333 %A change from 27 to 18 represents a negative change (decrease) of -33.33333333333333%

Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent changeby replacing the given values:Percent change = New - Old|Old| 100%Percent change = 18 - 27|27| x 100 = -927 x 100 = -33.33333333333333decrease)

Where: 27 is the old value and 18 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -33.33333333333333 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.

The Answer is: -33.33333333333333% or 33.3
