Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12

I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?

Answer:

The watermelon candies taste $0.13 more.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in order to find out how much each candy costs per ounce, you have to take the cost and divide it by the number of ounces. 3.48 divided by 12 is 0.29, so the watermelon candies cost $0.29 per ounce. 1.38 divided by 8 is 0.16, so the chewy chocolates cost $0.16 per ounce. In order to find how much more the watermelon candies cost, we have to subtract the cost of the watermelon candies by the cost of the chocolate candies. 0.29-0.16=0.13, so the watermelon candies cost $0.13 more than the chocolate candies.
