Answer 1

Let x be the amount of money you need to save each week.
The total amount of money saved over 4 weeks will be 4x.
We need to solve the inequality 4x ≥ 240.00.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 4, we get x ≥ 60.00.
Therefore, you must save at least $60.00 each week in order to meet your goal.
