Answer: Erick would have saved enough money after 6.5 weeks (or 7 depending on your answer choices

Step-by-step explanation: You would begin by subtracting $120 by $250 to figure out how much money he needs to save. Your answer would have been that he needs to save $130. Then, you would divide it by the $20 he would save every week. That is how you would get 6.5 weeks. You could then round the number to 7 weeks.
