Multiples of 25 end in 00, or 25, or 50, or 75.
Numbers ending in 00 or 50 are even,not odd,
so that odd number must end in 25 or 75.
Since the digits are all odd, it cannot end in 25, because 2 is not an odd digit.
We know the last two digits are 75.
If the first (odd) digit is x ,
the sum of the digits would be
x%2B7%2B5=15
x%2B12=15
x=15-12
x=3
So the number is 375.
