Answer: 26
Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have "6.50 is" that's 6.50 =, "25%" 25/100, "of" times, "what number" x.
I changed 25% to 25/100 because "percent" means over 100.
Reducing the 25/100 to 1/4, we have 6.50 = [tex]\frac{1x}{4}[/tex].
Multiplying both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction, we have 26 = x.
So 6.50 is 25% of 26.
