Answer:

25 cents

Explanation:

1.) Set up an equation you can solve from the wording of the question:

(2/3)*m = 50, where "m" represents the money in your pocket.

2.) Solve for that equation:

m = 50*(3/2) = 150/2 = 75, so now you know the money you have in your pocket is 75 cents

3.) Multiply the money you have in your pocket by 1/3 to find 1/3 of the money you have in your pocket:

75*(1/3) = 25
