Respuesta :

The percentage change can be found below

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{percentage change = }\frac{\text{ new number}-\text{original number}}{\text{original number}}\times100 \\ \text{percentage change=}\frac{18-45}{45}\times100 \\ \text{percentage change}=-60 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since the percentage is negative, this means there is a 60% decrease.
