Kayden has a loyalty card good for a 17% discount at his local hardware store. If the total cost, before tax and discount, of all the items he wants to buy is cc, which expression represents the cost after the discount?

\begin{gathered} (17)/(100)* c=0.17* c=0.17c \\ \text{Therefore the cost after the discount} \\ =c-0.17c=1c-0.17c \end{gathered}
