I would hazard a guess that this has to do with how the string is interpreted because the original poster is from the Netherlands (at least his TLD indicates so) and so probably has the locale set for there. He could try using "0,25"
Bingo! When I changed "0.25" to "0,25" in my US system, I get 100 as the result.
set x to "0,25" x as number --> 25
