    Assuming you really 

    meant h represents the number of hours 

    24 hours = 1 day 

    so in one day 

    d = (18)*(0.9)^24  so 

    d = 18 *(0.079766443 ) 

    so to make it a 

    percentage 

    multiply by 100 

    7.977 percent 

    Sorry it drops to 8 % percent of its original value 

    100 - 8  =92% percent drop 

    which rounds to 

    c. 92 % drops   

    which is 8 % of the original value
