It means 50 mg per serving so if the serving is only on tablet, it means you are getting 50 mg. The percentage refers to the recommended daily allowance. 100% would be the recommended daily allowance, so this means you are 5 times more than the RDA.
It's best not to go over the RDA if you are taking these vitamins on a regular basis, as taking over in some cases can lead to different conditions. Your best bet is to take a multivitamin that has 100% of everything.

It means for each 50mg tab, you receive 500% of the daily recommended dose of Vitamin B.

It means 5 times the amount your body needs daily, as decided by the vitamin authorities.

mg per dosage and dosage will be specified on the usage instructions on side or back the % is recommended daily allowance set by the FDA.

50 mg per tablet which is 500% of your RDA (what you need to maintain health);
PS More is NOT always better, you can overdose on some vitamins; 5 times more does NOT mean 5 times better as your body will just excrete the 40mgs its does not need..straight down the pan along with your money;
