2418 - 1804 = 614

614/ 55 = 11.163....

They will need to save for 12 more weeks because if they save for 11, they will only have 2408

Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)

Answer:

12 Weeks.

Explanation:

2418 minus 1804 is 614.

614 divided by 55 is 11.1, and you can't have 11.1, so you round to 12.

So 12 is therefore your answer.
