It will take Kirsten 6 weeks to save $180

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the saving of Kristen for one week to calculate the number of weeks.

So,

Kristen's earning for one week = $150

Saving = 20%

So,

[tex]Amount\ saved\ by\ Kristen\ each\ week = 150 * \frac{20}{100}\\=150*0.20\\=\$ 30[/tex]

Kristen saves $30 each week. To find the number of weeks it will take her to save $180, we have to divide the amount by per week saving.

[tex]Number\ of \ weeks=\frac{Total\ Amount}{Savings\ per\ week}\\=\frac{180}{30}\\=6\ weeks[/tex]

It will take Kirsten 6 weeks to save $180
