$37.5

$25/100X50=12.5$
$50-12.5=37.5$

$$37.5$

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

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

Now,we need to find the discount price

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

$:.rarr50-1/4*50$

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

$rarr50-1/2*25$

$rarr50-25/2$

$rArr50-12.5=$37.5$
