Given: 

Amount in brain's savings account = $88

Amount saved by brain per week = $3.5

Thus, let brain save $3.5 for x weeks

So, 3.5x + 88 = 200

3.5x = 200 - 88

3.5x = 112

Dividing both sides by 3.5, we get

3.5x/3.5 = 112/3.5

x = 32

 

Hence, brain will have save $3.5 for 32 weeks to have $200 in his account.
