If you pay a minimum monthly payment of $25 for six months, then you pay a total of 6*25 = 150 dollars

Subtract this from the balance of 1950 to get 190-150 = 1800

So $1,800.00 is the balance at the beginning of the seventh month.

Note: No interest is paid or charged during the initial 6 month period. After these six months, the interest rate jumps to 23.99% which is very high. This is why it is encouraged to pay off any balances on high interest accounts (such as credit cards).
