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.

The mathematical equation for this would be:

[tex]50-(50* \frac{25}{100} ) = 50- \frac{1250}{100}=50-12.5= 37.5[/tex]

The answer is 37.5$
