If 2.5% of total amount is paid back semi-annually, let's calculate the amount to be paid:

\frac{2.5}{100}x240
= $6

So, if $6 is semi-annually (6 months) --> $1 is paid per month (\frac{\text{6}}{6})

Number of months for $21 --> $21 (total to be paid) / $1 (paid per month) = 21 months

My solution:
If 2.5% is being paid back semi annually then we can find the amount using the following:

10% of $240 = $24
$24*2.5 = $60
$60/10 = $6 (equivalent to 2.5%) per 6 months
This is equivalent to $1 per month

Therefore we pay $21 in 21 months
