Answer 2

This is less than 85%.

Explanation:

Pablo spelled 21 words correctly out of 25 words.

We have to find is this number more than 85% or less than 85%.

So we will calculate the percentage of 21 words out of 25 words.

To calculate percentage we divide 21 by 25 and then multiply with 100.

`(21)/(25)* 100`

0.84 × 100

= 84%

This is less than 85%.
