To write the problem out as an equation, let 'n' equal your number. 
(15 x 1/n) - 3n
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The answer is C 3. she has a 50/50 chance of grabbing either black or white. Subtracting either a black or white sock, the probably of getting a matching pair is 1/3 from there.
