    Answer: The tennis racket costs $84.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation.

    The price of the tennis racket (x) multiplied by the percentage Becca saved in decimal form (25/100 = 0.25) is equal to $21.

    Mathematically speaking:

    x (25/100) = 21

    Solving for x:

    x 0.25 = 21

    x = 21/0.25

    x = $84

    The tennis racket costs $84.

    Let x be the entire portion of the money Becca needs to save to buy a new tennis racket.

    So, 0.25x=$21

    x=$21/0.25

    x=$84

    Thus, the total amount she needs to save is $84. Now, we'll deduct 25 from 84 to get the 75 percent or the remaining amount she has to save.

    $84-$21=$63

    The answer is $63.
