To find out how much Karim needs to pay for the shirt on sale, we first need to calculate the amount of the discount, which is one-third off the original price.
1. Calculate one-third of the original price:
\[
\text{One-third of } 46.50 = \frac{46.50}{3} = 15.50
\]
2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale price} = 46.50 - 15.50 = 31.00
\]
Therefore, Karim needs to pay **$31.00** to buy the shirt on sale.
