24 coconuts
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of coconuts that were originally on the tree be represented by x.
The information given in the question can then be presented to an equation as:
25% × x = 6
25/100 × x = 6
0.25 × x = 6
0.25x = 6
x = 6/0.25
x = 24
Therefore, 24 coconut were originally on the tree.
