Answer:

$48

Explanation:

Ashton is saving money for a new bike. He needs 120$ But only has saved 60% so far. How much more money does he need to buy the scooter

Ashton needs money for new bike=120$

savings of ashton is 60 % of his bike cost

hence 60% of 120 dollar will be

His saving=(60/100)*120=7200/100=72$

remaining cost will be obtained by subtracting saved money from total cost

total cost=120 dollar

saved money=72dollar

hence

Remaining more money he needed is =120-72=48$
