Please put how you got the answer.

Constance is saving money to buy a new bicycle that costs $215.75. She already has $70 saved and plans to save $8 each week. How many weeks will it take her to save enough money to purchase the bicycle? It will take her weeks to save enough money to purchase the bicycle.

To determine how many weeks it will take Constance to save enough money to purchase the bicycle, we need to calculate the difference between the cost of the bicycle and the amount she already has saved.

Amount needed to save = Cost of the bicycle - Amount already saved
= $195.75 - $40
= $155.75

Next, we need to determine how many groups of $8 she needs to save in order to reach the remaining amount needed.

Number of weeks = Amount needed to save ÷ Savings per week
= $155.75 ÷ $8

To find the number of weeks, we can divide the amount needed to save ($155.75) by the savings per week ($8).

Number of weeks = $155.75 ÷ $8
= 19.46875

Since we cannot have a decimal value for the number of weeks, we will round up to ensure Constance has enough savings. Therefore, it will take her approximately 20 weeks to save enough money to purchase the bicycle.
