Answer:
I suppose that the event here is selecting randomly a shoe.
We know that there are 246 shoes in the store, and 198 of them are women's shoes.
Then there are 246 - 198 = 48 shoes that are not women's shoes.
This means that if the event is something like "finding randomly a women's shoe"
The complement would be "selecting randomly a shoe which is not a women's shoe"
And there will be 48 outcomes that meet this condition.
