1 Serving of oatmeal = 16% of fiber needed. That means you still need (100% - 16%) 84% of your daily value.
Since the problem states you need 21 more grams, you can assume that 21 grams = 84%.
The question is x grams = 100%.
You can make this into a proportion, cross-multiply, and divide.
21/84 = x/100
x = 25 grams
