We can find the answer to this question by first converting the statement into an equation.
Let's suppose that 21 is z percent of 81. So, we can say that:
z x 84 = 21
100
Now, we will simply solve this equation for z to obtain our answer:
z x 84 = 21
100
84z/100 = 21
84z = 21x100
84z = 2100
z = 2100/84
z = 25
Our answer:
21 is 25% of 84.
