In the first part, you are floating .footer-nav to the left and .logo to the right. In the second part, you need to float the <li> elements in addition to the .footer-nav.

.clearfix::after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

/* Float .footer-nav to the left */
.footer-nav {
  float: left;
}
/* Float .footer-nav li(s) to the left */
.footer-nav li {
  float: left;
}

/* Float .logo to the right */
.logo {
  float: right;
}
