Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

A bill from Acme Supply Company is marked "3/15, net 30."

This means if the bill is paid within 15 days, there is a 3% discount, otherwise a total amount is due within 30 days.

The amount of the bill = $178.95

After 3% discount = 178.95 - (3% × 178.95)

= 178.95 - 5.37

= $173.58

Within 15 days you should tender $173.58.

Option C. is the answer.
