There was a -92.7% change in the number of cards in Shannon's collection.

Explanation:

The percentage change can be calculated using the formula:

$p = \frac{N - O}{O} \cdot 100$ $p = (N - O)/O * 100$ where $p$ $p$ is the percentage change, $N$ $N$ is the New Value and $O$ $O$ is the Old Value. Substituting for the New Value ( $165 - 153 = 12$ $165 - 153 = 12$ ) and the Old Value (165) we can calculate the percentage change:

$p = \frac{12 - 165}{165} \cdot 100$ $p = (12 - 165)/165 * 100$

$p = \frac{- 153}{165} \cdot 100$ $p = (-153)/165*100$

$p = \frac{- 15300}{165}$ $p = (-15300)/165$

$p = - 92.7$ $p = -92.7$ rounded to the nearest tenth.
