Answer 1

To find out how many weeks it will take Sarah to save enough money to buy the bicycle, we can start by calculating how much more money she needs.

The cost of the bicycle is $300, and Sarah already has $120 saved.

Amount needed = Cost of bicycle - Amount saved
Amount needed = $300 - $120 = $180

Sarah plans to save an additional $30 per week. To find out how many weeks it will take her to save $180, we can use the following equation:

Number of weeks = Amount needed / Amount saved per week
Number of weeks = $180 / $30 = 6 weeks

So, it will take Sarah 6 weeks to save enough money to buy the bicycle.
