To determine which student's work is correct when finding out what number 150 is 25% of, we can set it up using equivalent ratios and solve for the unknown number.

We know that:

\[
150 = 25\% \times x
\]

Where \( x \) is the unknown number we are trying to find. We can also express 25% as a fraction:

\[
25\% = \frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

Thus, we can rewrite the equation as:

\[
150 = \frac{1}{4} \times x
\]

To find \( x \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

\[
150 \times 4 = x
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
x = 600
\]

Therefore, 150 is 25% of **600**.

Now let's evaluate the work of each student:

1. **Liam** - If Liam correctly set up or calculated to reach 600, he is correct.
2. **Yasmin** - If she correctly showed that 150 is one-fourth of a number resulting in 600, she is correct.
3. **Isabella** - If she has a different result or methodology that does not lead to 600, she's incorrect.
4. **Bill** - If he solved it correctly reaching 600, he is correct.

Without the actual equations or methods that each student used, I cannot definitively point to the correct answer. However, the correct answer to the original problem is that 150 is 25% of **600**.

Please provide the details of each student's work so I can identify whose solution is correct.
