Maria's savings increase by $19 every week. We can set up the equation:
50 + 19w = 259
where w is the number of weeks it takes for her savings to reach $259.
Subtracting 50 from both sides:
19w = 259 - 50
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
19w = 209
Dividing both sides by 19:
w = 209/19
Evaluating the division:
w ≈ <<209/19=11>>11
It will take Maria approximately 11 weeks for her savings to reach $259. Answer: \boxed{11}.
