Answer 1

9 weeks.

If she has already saved up 60 dollars then all you need to do is find out what 22 times 9 is. 22 times 9=198+60=258. That makes 9 weeks your answer.

Answer 2

Let w represent the number of weeks Emma saves her money. Then we want to find w for
60 +22w ≥ 249
22w ≥ 189 . . . . . . . . . subtract 60
w ≥ 189/22 ≈ 8.591

Emma will have enough money after 9 weeks.
