Jennifer is saving money to buy a bike. The bike costs $223. She has $115 saved, and each week she adds $18 to her savings.

How long will it take her to save enough money to buy the bike?

Answer:

6 weeks

Explanation:

First, if the bike is $223 and if Jennifer has 115 saved, then you have to do 223 - 115 which gets you 108.

Second, if you need $108, and you make $18 every week, then you would do 108/18 which gets you 6.

Therefore, it would take Jennifer 6 weeks to buy the bike.

Hope this helps!
