Answer: It will take 8 weeks to Tom to achieve his goal.

Explanation:

Given: The earning of Tom in an hour = $7.5

if Tom worked 15 hours in a week, then the amount earned by him in one week =
15*7.5=\$112.5

The required amount to achieve his goal = $900

The number of week he need to work to achieve his target =
(900)/(112.5)=8

Hence, It will take 8 weeks to Tom to achieve his goal.
