To determine how many weeks it will take Tom to save enough money for the bike, we start by calculating how much more money he needs.
The cost of the bike is $180, and Tom currently has $120. Therefore, the amount he still needs to save is:
\[
180 - 120 = 60 \text{ dollars}
\]
Tom saves $10 per week. To find out how many weeks it will take him to save the additional $60, we divide the amount he needs by the amount he saves each week:
\[
\frac{60}{10} = 6 \text{ weeks}
\]
Thus, it will take Tom **6 weeks** to save enough money to buy the bike.
