Answer 1

The answer is 24
If u divide 25 from a hundred u get 4
then u times 4 by 6 and get 24

Answer 2

Let's assume

total number of students in Ashley's class is x

25% of total number of students prefer pizza the most

so, number of student prefer the most is 25% of x

$=0.25x$

we have

number of student prefer pizza the most is 6

so, we can set them equal

$6=0.25x$

now, we can solve for x

we get

$x=24$

so, total number of students is 24...........Answer
