Explanation


To solve this problem, you can set up an equation using the given information. 
Let X be the first number, Y be the second number, and Z be the third number. 
Then:

X = (7/100) * Z
Y = (28/100) * Z
(X/Y) = (7/100) * (Z/Y)
(X/Y) = (7/28)
X = (7/28) * Y

Therefore, the first number is 7/28, or approximately 25%, of the second number.
