texaschic101 · Answer

1/3 of 46.50....." of " means multiply
1/3 * 46.50 = 46.50/3 = 15.50.....that is how much the sale is....15.50 off of 46.50.

46.50 - 15.50 = 31.00.....so with the discount applied, Karim would have to pay $31.00.

Its the 
Price of the shirt x 1/3
46.50 x 1/3 
= 15.5

Price he needs to pay = $(46.50 - 15.5)
= $31.50.
So its option C.
