Terri is trying to save $250 so she can buy a new surfboard . She has \$75 saved already and plans to save $45 per week . How many weeks will it take her to save up enough money to purchase a new surfboard ?

250 = 75 + 45w is your equation, and w is the number of weeks

175 = 45w
w = 3.88888

So 4 weeks is your answer. LMK if you have questions.
