21 is 75% of 28. You already know that to make 100, you need 4 25's. 75 is three 25's. You take 21 and divide it by three to get seven. Then you take your past knowledge and multiply 7 by 4 and get 28.
In the given question it is
required to find an unknown amount from all the details given in the question.
It is given that 21 is the 75% of the unknown number.
Let us consider the amount = x Then we can write the equation as 75x/100 = 21 75x = 21 * 100 75x = 2100 x = 2100/75 = 28 So the correct amount is 28.
