Answer:

11 boys walk to school each day

Explanation:

*The following will be assumed: the only genders of students in the class are male or female; the only options for getting to school are walking or not walking

If there are 32 students in the class total, and there are 15 boys,

32 - 15 = 17

there are 17 girls.

If 8 of these girls do not walk to school,

17 - 8 = 9

9 girls walk to school

So, if 20 total students walk to school, and 9 of those are girls

20 - 9 = 11

11 boys walk to school each day.
