Answer:

A. 6

Explanation:

We know that 12% can be written in fraction form as
(12)/(100) . So, 12% of 100 is
$100\cdot(12)/(100) = 12$ .

We also know that 50 is half of 100. Therefore, 12% of 50 is exactly half of 12% of 100:

$12\% \cdot 50$

$= (1)/(2)(12\% \cdot 100)$

= (1)/(2)(12)

$\boxed{=6}$
