Solution

Given that 15% of Y is equal to 21% of Z, we can write this as an equation:

0.15Y = 0.21Z

We are asked to find what percent of Z is equal to 12.5% of Y. We can write this as:

0.125Y = ?%Z

We can solve for ? by substituting the value of Y from the first equation into the second equation:

0.125(0.21Z/0.15) = ?%Z

Solving this equation gives:

? = 0.175 or 17.5%

So, 12.5% of Y is equal to 17.5% of Z.
