If we know that Sophie already has $14 saved up and that she plans to save $5 each week, we can find out how many weeks until she can get her jacket.

$14 already saved up

14 + 5 = $19 → first week

19 + 5 = $24 → second week

24 + 5 = $29 → third week

29 + 5 = $34 → fourth week

34 + 5 = $39 → fifth week

39 + 5 = $44 → sixth week

44 + 5 = $49 → seventh week

49 + 5 = $54 → eighth week

54 + 5 = $59 → ninth week

59 + 5 = $64 → tenth week

Therefore, it will take Sophie 10 weeks to save up enough money for her new jacket.
