Question

Ashton needs $120 but has only saved 60% so far. How much more money does he need

Answer 1

Hello there! Ashton needs 48 more dollars.

Well, to start, you want to find 60% of 120. To do this, you first have to convert 60% into a decimal by dividing it by 100.

60/100 = 0.6

Next, multiply 0.6 by your total needed, 120, to finish finding 60% of 120.

120 x 0.6 = 72.

So he already has 72 dollars, but how many more does he need? You can find this by subtracting 72 from 120.

120 - 72 = 48.

So, this means he needs 48 more dollars. I hope this helps and have a great rest of your day! Please let me know if you need further help with this question. :)
