So the answer would be 120- 72 = $48

Answer 2

Ashton needs $48 to buy the bike

Explanation:

The cost of the bike is $120. In this moment Ashton has saved 60 % to convert it to money we have to multiply the cost of the bike and the percentage saved and divide it by 100 % to eliminate the percentage units.

`(120 * 60)/(100)= 72`

So in this moment Ahston has save $72 for the bike. Now, we just have to substract the total cost of the bike and the saved money.

`120 - 72 = 48`

Ashton needs $48 to buy the bike
