Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number to be found be x then
23 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] % of x = 21 ( change mixed number to improper fraction )
[tex]\frac{\frac{70}{3} }{100}[/tex] x = 21
[tex]\frac{70}{300}[/tex] x = 21 ( multiply both sides by 300 to clear the fraction )
70x = 6300 ( divide both sides by 70 )
x = 90
Then 23 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] % 0f 90 = 21
