weeks.

Answer 1

Answer: Fewer than 8 weeks

Explanation:

1200-620= 580 (States the balance that Millie can use)

580÷72.5= 8 weeks

However, the question asks how many weeks will MIllie's balance remain above $620.

After 8 weeks, her balance will be exactly $620 not above that, so it is fewer than 8 weeks (7 weeks) where Millie's balance will remain above $620.
