50 X .12 = 6

50 - 6 = 44.

the above answer is totally correct but this can be solved with logic instead of numbers. 12% of 100 is obviously 12. because all percentages are taken from 100. 50 is half of 100 therefore 12% is 6. because it would also be half. 25% of 50 would be half again ie. 3.

then minus the 6 from 50 to leave the above answer of 44. simple logic makes these easier.
