Solution Steps

To solve the problem of finding a fifth of the difference between a number \( n \) and 37, we need to:

  1. Subtract 37 from the number \( n \).
  2. Divide the result by 5 to get a fifth of the difference.
Step 1: Calculate the Difference

First, we need to find the difference between the number \( n \) and 37. Given \( n = 50 \):

\[ \text{Difference} = n - 37 = 50 - 37 = 13 \]

Step 2: Find a Fifth of the Difference

Next, we calculate a fifth of the difference obtained in Step 1:

\[ \text{Result} = \frac{13}{5} = 2.6 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{2.6} \]
