Brandon wants to buy a new bike. The model he likes is on sale for 15% off its original price. His parents agree to pay for $50 of the cost. If the original cost of the bike is x dollars, which of the expressions below represent the amount Brandon has to pay

Discount on price = 15%

Amount parents agreed to pay = $50

Cost of bike = x

Discount on bike = 0.15x

Cost after discount is removed = (x - 0.15x) = 0.85x

Parent pays $50 of cost price, amount Brandon will have to pay equals :

(0.85x - $50)
