25% can be translated to .25
So you can do 50 x .25

Understand that decimals are less than whole numbers. That means decimals are only part of a whole number. Which is why if you were to multiple any number with a decimal it is LESS than what you started with.

So when you do 50 x .25 you get, 12.5
