12.5

To solve this, you must set up an equation. First, you have to convert 25% to a decimal. So you have to divide 25 by 100. You get .25 because you will move the decimal 2 places to the left. Now you set up the equation, which is x=50 x .25. So all you have to do is multiply 50 by .25. You will get 12.5, which is your answer.
