Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert USD to Yen

Given the exchange rate \( \$1 = 99.925 \) yen, we need to find the value of \( \$120 \) in yen.

\[ \text{Value in yen} = 120 \times 99.925 = 11991.0 \text{ yen} \]

Step 2: Convert Yen to USD

Given the price of the shirt is 3200 yen, we need to find the equivalent price in USD.

\[ \text{Value in USD} = \frac{3200}{99.925} \approx 32.0240 \]

Final Answer

The value of \( \$120 \) was \( \boxed{11991.0} \) yen.

The price of the shirt was approximately \( \boxed{\$32.02} \).
