To find out how many perennial flowers the students saw, we first need to calculate 84% of the total number of flowers, which is 25.
We can use the following formula to find the number of perennials:
\[
\text{Number of perennial flowers} = \text{Total number of flowers} \times \frac{\text{Percentage of perennials}}{100}
\]
Substituting the values we have:
\[
\text{Number of perennial flowers} = 25 \times \frac{84}{100}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Number of perennial flowers} = 25 \times 0.84 = 21
\]
Therefore, the students saw **21 perennial flowers**.
