Answer:

Ashley had $48.11 before she bought the book.

Explanation:

If Ashley bought a book for $15.99 and now has $32.12, then before the purchase, she had:

Amount before purchase = Amount after purchase + Price of the book

Amount before purchase = $32.12 + $15.99

Simplifying:

Amount before purchase = $48.11

Therefore, Ashley had $48.11 before she bought the book.
