Given:
The number is multiplied by 12.
To find:
The correct number.
Solution:
Let us take the correct number as X.
The correct answer if X is multiplied by 12 = 12 X
The answer obtained when the number X is multiplied by 21 is 63 more than the correct answer.
Therefore,
21 X = 63 + 12 X
21 X – 12 X = 63
9 X = 63
X= 7
Therefore,
The correct number is 7.
