To determine how many more weeks it will take Tracy to save enough money for the guitar, we first need to find out how much more money she needs to save.
-
Calculate the remaining amount she needs: \[ \text{Remaining amount} = \text{Cost of guitar} - \text{Amount saved} \] \[ \text{Remaining amount} = 253.77 - 136.27 = 117.50 \]
-
Now, we need to see how many weeks it will take for her to save this remaining amount at her saving rate of $23.50 per week: \[ \text{Weeks needed} = \frac{\text{Remaining amount}}{\text{Amount saved per week}} = \frac{117.50}{23.50} \] \[ \text{Weeks needed} = 5 \]
Therefore, it will take Tracy 5 weeks to save enough money to buy the guitar. The answer is 5 weeks.
