Need help ASAP!

Maggie ordered a painting. She paid 30% of the total cost when she ordered it, and she will pay the remaining amount when it is delivered. If she has paid $15, how much more does she owe? Show your work, please.

Set it up like this:

15=0.3(x)

Simplify:

x = 50

She owes 50-15 = $35 more.
