Answer 2

She will save $ 60 in 6 weeks

Explanation:

Given,

The amount she saved in first week = $24,

Also, the each week after the first she saves $6,

Suppose she saved x weeks after first week,

Then her total saving = 24 + 6x

If x = 5,

Therefore, her total saving in 6 weeks = 24 + 6(5) = 24 + 30 = $ 54
