$37.5

$\frac{25}{100} X 50 = 12.5$ $25/100X50=12.5$
$50 - 12.5 = 37.5$ $50-12.5=37.5$

$$ 37.5$ $$37.5$

Remember that we can write $25 %$ $25%$ as $\frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4}$ $color(blue)(25/100=1/4$

$(Percentages are fractions with denominator 100)$ $("Percentages are fractions with denominator 100")$

Now,we need to find the discount price

For that,we must subtract $25 % of 50$ $25% "of 50"$ from $50$ $50$

$:.rarr50-1/4*50$

$rarr50-1/cancel4^2*cancel50^25$

$rarr50-1/2*25$

$rarr50-25/2$

$rArr50-12.5=$37.5$
