To find out how much Benito saved from his earnings, we first need to determine the savings rate based on his earnings.

Benito saves $6 out of every $20 he earns. We can express his savings rate as a fraction:

\[
\text{Savings Rate} = \frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10} = 0.3
\]

This means he saves 30% of his earnings.

Now, we can calculate how much he saved from his $90 earnings that month:

\[
\text{Amount Saved} = \text{Earnings} \times \text{Savings Rate} = 90 \times 0.3 = 27
\]

Thus, Benito saved **$27** that month.
