3 years

Because you can first try to find the percent of change from 33 to 5.6 so 33-5.6=27.4/33 =.83 which equals 83% then take 33 and multiply it by. 83 and it will give you 27.39 then take 33 and subtract 27.39 and you get 5.6. To know that it equals 3 years take. 83/.27 and it gives you 3, which equals the amount of years.
