First, you should convert the percentage into decimal form:
25.5 % = .255
Next you multiply the total tornadoes, by the decimal form of thepercentage.
958 X .255 = 244.29
You don't usually have .29 of a tornado, so you should round thisup to a full tornado, bringing the total to 245 tornados in themonth of April.

If there were 958 tornadoes that occurred in the United Statesduring 2006 and 25.5% of them occurred during the month of April2006, then you should be able to simply multiply the amount oftotal tornado occurrences in 2006 by the percentage of tornadoes inApril.
958(.255)=244.29
Since it is impossible to have .29 of a tornado we round to thenearest whole number which is 245.
