Given:
Bike cost = $210
Initial savings = $126
Savings per week = $14
Determine how long will it take to buy the bike.
Solution:
Subtract the Bike cost with the initial savings.
= $210 - $126
= $84
$84 dollars is the money she needs to accumulate in order to buy the bike, if she saves $14 a week, we divide 84 by 14 in order to determine how many weeks are needed to buy the bike.
= 84/14
= 6 weeks
It will take 6 weeks for Jennifer to buy the bike.
