#"600 lollipops"#

According to the question

#"50 lollipops = 1 bag"#

Divide both sides by #"50 lollipops"#

We get

#1 = "50 lollipops"/"bag"#

Multiplying a number with #"50 lollipops"/"bag"# is equivalent to multiplying it with 1

#"Number of lollipops in 12 bags" = 12 cancel"bags" × "50 lollipops"/cancel"bag" = "600 lollipops"#
