To find out how much more money Lindsay needs to save before she can buy the tablet, we'll first identify the sale price of the tablet from the provided table.
In the table:
- The sale price of the tablet is $199.
Next, we will set up an equation to find out how much more money Lindsay needs to save:
Let \( x \) be the amount of additional money Lindsay needs to save. The equation can be set up as follows:
\[
134.75 + x = 199
\]
Now, we can solve for \( x \):
1. Subtract $134.75 from both sides of the equation:
\[
x = 199 - 134.75
\]
2. Perform the calculation:
\[
x = 64.25
\]
Thus, the amount of money Lindsay needs to save is \( \boxed{64.25} \).
