The mathematical equation for this would be:


50-(50* (25)/(100) ) = 50- (1250)/(100)=50-12.5= 37.5

The answer is 37.5$

first we need to know what 25% of 50 dollars is:

25%=25/100

25/100*50=1/4*50=12.5

So now the "off" means that we need to take it off the 50 dolars, so it will be 50-12.5, which is 37.5, and this is the correct answer.
