Question

Answer 1

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the clearance price of the $40 shirt:

$\frac{32}{12}$ = $\frac{40}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

32x = 480

x = 15

So, the clearance price is $15

Answer 2

The answer is 20 bucks 8 plus 32 =40 8+12=20
