To solve this question, the user needs to know basic algebraic equations and the concept of solving for a variable.

Let's represent the number in question as "x".

From the problem, we know that:

2x = (1/4)x + 7

To solve for "x", we can start by simplifying the equation.

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

8x = x + 28

Next, we can subtract "x" from both sides to isolate the variable on one side of the equation:

7x = 28

Finally, we can solve for "x" by dividing both sides by 7:

x = 4

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: B (4)
