1,231 people

Step-by-step explanation:

1,256 people currently subscribe. $0.25 is 5 nickels, and for every nickel the price is raised, 5 people unsubscribe. That's 1 person per cent. 25 people will unsubscribe for every $0.25 the price is raised. 1,256-25 is 1,231, so 1,231 people will continue to subscribe after the price increase.
