Constance is saving money to buy a new bicycle that costs $195.75 she already has $40 saved and plans to save $8 each week how many weeks will it take her to save enough money to purchase the bicycle ?

Answer:
20 weeks (Exactly 19.46 weeks)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total cost of the bicycle = $195.75
Saved Money = $40
Remaining amount required = 195.75 - 40 = $155.75
Time taken to save $8 = 1 week
Time taken to save $1 = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Thus, time taken to save $155.75 is
[tex]=\frac{1}{8}\times 155.75[/tex]
[tex]=19.46[/tex]
Constance will need to save $8 for around 20 weeks to save enough money to buy the bicycle.
