Answer 1

Ben had $24 left in his savings account after purchasing the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money Ben had left in his savings account after purchasing the car, we can first calculate the amount he spent on the car. Since he spent 60% of his savings on the car, we can find this amount by multiplying his savings by 0.6. $60 x 0.6 = $36.

Next, we subtract the amount spent on the car from his savings. $60 - $36 = $24. So, after purchasing the car, Ben had $24 left in his savings account.
