Answer 1

No she didn't have exact money for the bicycle. She had $2 less in her savings in order to buy the bicycle.

Explanation:

Gisselle saved $6 every week in order to buy a bicycle.

In weeks she had saved 8 × $6 = $48

She found a used bicycle costing $50.

So she had $50 - $48 = $2 less in her savings preventing her from buying the bicycle.
