Answer:

Option (c)

Chuy will save more than he needs and will meet his goal in less than 27 week.

Explanation:

Given that, Chuy wants to buy a new television. The television cost is $1,350.

He decides to save the same amount of money each week.

After 8 weeks he saved $440.

Each week he saved
=\$(440)/(8)

=$ 55

If he saved $55 each week.

At the end of 27 week he will save = $(27×55)

=$1485

Therefore he will save $1485 at the end of 27th week.

The saved money is more than the cost price of the television.

Therefore Chuy will meet his goal in less than 27 weeks.
