Please explain the answer.

I calculated 95% of 630 and divided it with 25. Seemed pretty straight forward, and got 23.94 as answer. But OA is different. :(

1.05x = 630
x = (630/105) * 100

x/25 = (630/105) *100 (1/25) = 24

This is one concept error I have made before. Can anyone explain, why calculating 95% of 630 did not work?
