Paul has 6 chocolate chip cookies and 25% of the total number of cookies are chocolate chip cookies.

Therefore, the total number of cookies Paul has is 6 / 0.25 = 24 cookies.

If 25% of Paul's cookies are chocolate chip, then 75% of his cookies are not chocolate chip. Let's call the total number of cookies Paul has "x".

So, 25% of x is equal to 6:

0.25x = 6

To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.25:

x = 24

So Paul has 24 cookies altogether.
