Answer 2

Greetings!

We can solve this problem by creating a simple equation:

Let x represent the percent
$21=(\frac{x}{100})(25)$

Simplify.
$21=(\frac{x}{100})(\frac{25}{1})$

$21=\frac{25x}{100}$

Multiply both sides by 100.
$(100)(21)=100(\frac{25x}{100})$

$2100=25x$

Divide both sides by 25.
$\frac{2100}{25}=\frac{25x}{25}$

$84=x$

The Answer Is:
$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x=84\end{array}\right]$

<u />21 is 84% of 25.

Hope this helps.
