keith has a debt of $145.50 at the beginning of the summer. he wants to have at least 200 in the account at the end on the summer if he plans to save 75.50 each week what is the minimum number of weeks he’ll have to work in order to meet his goal?

Total amount he needs to save = 200 + 145.50 = 345.50


Number of weeks = total needed / weekly savings


345.50 / 75.50 = 4.57


He will need to work 5 weeks.
