To find the percentage of one number in relation to another number then divide the relative number (in this case 133) by the base number (in this case 158) and multiply the result by 100.

133 is therefore 100 x 133/158 = 84.2%. The decrease is thus 100 - 84.2 = 15.8%

ALTERNATIVELY : The decrease is 158 - 133 = 25.

25 as a percentage of 158 is 100 x 25/158 = 15.8%
