You can consider doing this:
$number=102.52;
$fraction=$number-floor($number);
$number=($number % 50)+$fraction;
Basically it's the exact solution you're suggesting, just that you don't
have to do any string stuff.
PHP's behaviour is normal - modulus is generally intended for
integers...

Consider the following:
$number = 102.52;
echo $number % 50;
echo bcmod( $number, 50 );
in both cases, it's spitting out "2". Why is it not spitting
out "2.52"? Is there a way I can get that information?
w/o having to parse the string, breaking it up, getting
the modulus and then adding it ba
at's all ;-)

4 div 2 equals remainder 0
2 div 4 doesnt divide so your left with the remainder equal to what you
started with, 2
